Version 4.2 of the Berkeley Data Base library which offers (key/value) storage
with optional concurrent access or transactions interface.
Utilities are included in the distribution to convert v1.85 databases to v4.2
databases, and a backwards compatible API is provided to maintain
compatibility with programs using the v1.85 interface.
Note that this port has a different layout than the 3.3, 4.0 and 4.1 ports,
it does not rename libraries.

Berkeley DB cleanup, remove versions 4.0 ... 4.7.
- Mk/bsd.database.mk rewrite, new default to db5.
- db6 is eligible by default only if installed on the system.
- Bump PORTREVISION of all ports that directly depend on BerkeleyDB or
where USE_BDB is found in the port's directory
- Patch a few ports such that they will pick up or work with newer
versions.
- Add UPDATING entry
- Drive-by format fix for pks
- Drop BerkeleyDB option from mail/popular for now, requires more work.
- Exp-run logs linked from the PR below.
- Ports that do not build (IGNORE, BROKEN, etc.) have pro-forma changes
for new Berkeley DB, but are untested.
NOTE: please read UPDATING and the Wiki page before proceeding!

Deprecate md5 in favour of sha256 checksums. md5 checksums will no longer
be generated or checked, and will be silently ignored for now. Also,
generalize the MD5_FILE macro to DISTINFO_FILO.

Add Berkeley DB 4.2.52 after repocopy from db41.
Note to other porters who want their port to depend on this one: Use
LIB_DEPENDS=db-4.2.2:${PORTSDIR}/databases/db42-nocrypto
Usually, setting
CONFIGURE_ENV?= CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include/db42"
LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib/db42" LIBS="-ldb-4.2"
will then work to get the right DB library. At run time, the proper
library will be looked up by its SONAME, which is "libdb-4.2.so.2" and
resides in /usr/local/lib.
