Re: Documentation about finding correct BerkeleyDB version (ITS#3375)

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

You're misreading the ./configure error message.  In this
test (version mismatch), it's expecting the version found in
the header to match the version in the library.  It didn't find that.
The check to see whether the version found in both is appropriate
is independent.  The error messages were updated in HEAD.
I've now backed ported to OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_2.
