BEWARE: This release DROPS support for Python 2.3 and Berkeley DB 4.2.

Details:

http://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb.htm#bsddb3-5.3.0

"""
* Support Berkeley DB 5.3.x.

* Drop support for Berkeley DB 4.2 and Python 2.3. Our reference is
Red Had Enterprise Linux 5, until march 2014. After that, RHEL6 has
Python 2.6 and BDB 4.7.

* According to
http://superuser.com/questions/189931/python-and-berkeley-db-versions-in-redhat-enterprise-linux-3-4-5-and-upcoming-6
:

    RHEL3: Python 2.2.3, BDB 4.1.25
    RHEL4: Python 2.3.4, BDB 4.2.52
    RHEL5: Python 2.4.3, BDB 4.3.29
    RHEL6: Python 2.6.2, BDB 4.7.25

* Support for "DBEnv->set_intermediate_dir()", available in Berkeley
DB 4.3-4.6. Patch by Garret Cooper.

* Support for "DB->set_dup_compare()". Original patches by Nikita M.
Kozlovsky and Ben Schmeckpeper.

* Fixed a testsuite compatibility problem with BDB 5.2.

* If we are running Solaris or derivatives, and 64bit python, try to
find the library under "/usr/local/Berkeley.*.*/64/".

* Solaris 10 Update 10 exposes a very old race condition in the
replication master election tests. Some details in
https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=9902860 .
Workaround proposed in a private email from Paula Bingham (Oracle), in
20110929.

* When doing the full matrix test for a release, stop the verification
if any test failed.
