Hi folks,
I'm including a small patch to allow building postfix-1.1.12
(the last postfix1 release) to build cleanly on distros with Berkeley
db4, including RH8, 9, FC1, FC2, etc. If anybody out there still uses
Postfix1, give it a whirl. I'm using it in conjuction with Cyrus-SASL
1.5.28. It will probably also work on other postfix-1.1.x releases,
maybe with a line number offset - YMMV. I used it to patch postfix-
1.1.12-5.src.rpm (Google for this one).

The main benefit of using Postfix1 is that there's a greater body of
knowledge of its quirks and oddities, so those who already have it
running well would prefer to continue using it. This patch allows that,
even on more recent distros.
