Since we don't really know what version is required (and since gdbm
releases don't seem to be coming along very frequently), I think it is
simpler not to mention version numbers at all.  I just committed a
version-neutral version of your suggested patch on trunk r4849.  Let me
know if you have any objections.

Thanks,
Michael
