RHEL3 was released in late 2003. Red Hat is suppose to support it for 7
years, although the last published update was TWO years ago. So it seems
I have to support Python 2.3 and Berkeley DB 4.1 until pybsddb 4.10 at
least :-).

I will remove BDB 4.0 support in pybsddb 4.8.0, just around the corner.

Anybody there knows which Berkeley DB and Python version went in RHEL4?
