There are **ancient** comments in the code that are relevant here:

"""
     # The default build of Oracle Berkeley DB for windows just leaves
     # everything in the build dirs in the db source tree. That means
     # that we either have to hunt around to find it, (which would be
     # even more difficult than the mess above for Unix...) or we make
     # the builder specify everything here. Compounding the problem is
     # version numbers in default path names, and different library
     # names for debug/release or dll/static.
     #
     # So to make things easier, I'm just going to expect that the DB stuff
     # has been moved to the ./db directory. There's an updatedb.bat file to
     # help.
     #
     # You'll need to edit the project file that comes with Oracle 
Berkeley DB
     # so it uses "Multithreaded DLL" and "Debug Multithreaded DLL" 
(/MD and
     # /MDd) settings as appropriate to build .lib file (the db_static
     # project).
"""

Please, compile the Oracle Berkeley DB code as "multithread, non debug" 
and send me a ZIP with the build directory. I am interested in those files.

Then follow instructions in the pasted comments. Let's see what happens.
