This is maybe not the same problem that Zooko had, but bsddb doesn't
build on my Linux 2.4.10 (SuSE 7.3) box either where Sleepycat
db-4.1.25 was installed from the sources.  It puts db.h under
/usr/local/include per default where Python's setup.py doesn't find it.

It used to be sufficient for me to add this directory to the db4 incdirs
(see patch below) until 2.3c1 -- but this doesn't work for the CVS version
any more.

And yes, test_time fails with "AssertionError: AEST", too.  For 2.3c1 as
well as for current CVS.
