Check for the presence of Berkeley DB.

As I discovered when building Perl for our Solaris box, if Berkeley DB is
not found when you build Perl, DB_File is not built. Except for a few tests
failing, there is no indication that DB_File was not built.

Than I went and found Berekeley DB and what ho! I had to rebuild Perl. A
real nuisance.
