5.3.4: DB_CONFIG issues

[Jeff Johnson]

Using DB_CONFIG to configure an rpmdb has (Berkeley DB) version dependencies.

Here's one issue (noted on an IDMS install)

 361:syslog-ng ########################################### [ 90%]
rpmdb: unrecognized name-value pair: set_create_dir
rpmdb: unrecognized name-value pair: set_create_dir
error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument
error: cannot open Packages(0) index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
/X/src/wdj53/tests/tmp/rpm-tmp.71493: line 2: [: too many arguments
 362:yum-updatesd ########################################### [ 90%]

Ultimately this is a packaging problem:
    Why should packages be attempting anything with an rpmdb?
Yes, I know the answers ...
