I suppose that's an alternative, however, it is complicated by a couple
issues:

    * The bsddb185 module would have to be built as bsddb (not a big deal in
      and of itself).

    * The current bsddb package directory would have to be renamed or not
      installed to avoid name clashes.

I don't think there's a precedent for the second issue.  The make install
target installs everything in Lib.  I think The decision about whether the
package or the module gets installed would be made in setup.py.  The
coupling between the two increases the complexity of the process.  I smell
an ugly hack in the offing.
