* Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.2.52. The main advantage of 4.2 is that

it automatically removes log files when they are no longer needed.

  *** IMPORTANT ***

  If you have an existing Nix installation, you must checkpoint the
  Nix database to prevent recent transactions from being undone.  Do
  the following:

  - optional: make a backup of $prefix/var/nix/db.

  - run `db_checkpoint' from Berkeley DB 4.1:
  
    $ db_checkpoint -h $prefix/var/nix/db -1

  - optional (?): run `db_recover' from Berkeley DB 4.1:

    $ db_recover -h $prefix/var/nix/db

  - remove $prefix/var/nix/db/log* and $prefix/var/nix/db/__db*
