(contrib version will be better) Because: 1) It's not API compatable with the current version in libc 2) It's not compatable with the current .db file format 3) The author[s] explicitly reccomend *against* putting it in libc 4) It's got commercial use license restrictions if I remember correctly While I think it's great software, I'm not sure that it's libc material..
