On the other hand, users may expect certain things to work, which require a 
full BDB environment, that is not present when -q is used.  I don't see 
harm in coming up with an appropriate note that the resulting environment 
from using -q is not fully usable as one may have come to expect when using 
bdb/hdb in the more general case.
