+dnl Checks for ndbm; we use our own autoconf macro rather than
+dnl using AC_CHECK_LIB because on later versions of libdb
+dnl the dbm_open() function is provided via a #define and
+dnl we don't want to hardcode searching for the internal
+dnl function that lies behind it.
+dnl This *must* come after the ndbm headers check!
+
+dnl Note the special-casing of the gdbm_compat case:
+dnl if we find gdbm_open in -lgdbm and dbm_open in
+dnl -lgdbm_compat -lgdbm then we want to have both libraries
+dnl in LIBS in that order.
