=begin
In the new version of BerkDB, to use the DBM functions you need to define the HAVE_DBM macro, otherwise the functions won't be defined (before, simply using DB_DBM_HSEARCH was enough). The attached patch enables that to make sure that it is possible to build the dbm extension properly.

What's exact version of Bereley DB?

I tested ruby 2.0.0dev (2011-11-11 trunk 33710) with
Berkeley DB 5.1 (Ubuntu package libdb5.1 version 5.1.25-11).
It works fine without your patch.
(The version of ruby don't define HAVE_DBM.)
