Hi Matthias,

I think that we should get a "easy" way to know if db3 / db4 / db41 /=20
db41-nocrypto is installed during the port generation.

Idealy a

USE_DB=3D<something>

with <something> can be : 3, 4, 41, 41-nocrypto can help to get the=20
good dependency with all db<x> ports users.

One thing I didn't get a clue is how to detect the current installation=20=

of a db<x> package (a clean, neat, and if possible automagicaly way) ?
