+ AUTHOR: swhetzel@gmail.com
+
+ Most of the ports that depend on Berkeley DB have been updated to use
+ Mk/bsd.database.mk. Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to include MySQL, PostgreSQL,
+ Berkeley DB, and SQLite in a port.
+
+ The Berkeley DB support in Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to return the proper
+ db* library name and location of the include and library directories of the
+ requested version.
+
+ To select a version of Berkeley DB, you can use either WITH_BDB_VER=<version>
+ or ${UNIQUENAME}_WITH_BDB_VER=<version> (version is one of 3, 40, 41, 42, 43,
+ or 44).
+
+ When a port has USE_BDB defined as either 'USE_BDB=41+' or 'USE_BDB=yes', the
+ port will use the oldest installed version of Berkeley DB. For example if
+ both db41 and db43 are installed, the port would end up compling with db41.
+ If you add -DWITH_BDB_HIGHEST to your make command, the port will use highest
+ db* instead. If no Berkeley DB is installed then the port will default to the
+ version specified or the default Berkeley DB version (currently db41).
+
+ NOTE: If a port was using a different variable to select Berkeley DB or a
+ version, you will get an IGNORE message when you build the port. This
+ message will tell you what you need to do.
+
+ Port Maintainers please review the comments in Mk/bsd.database.mk on what
+ variables are available for you use in your own ports.
