I've actually removed the --with-db support in a commit I'll be making
soon (Monday?) -- so no problem there.  As to the Solaris 9 compile

We would all very much appreciate your help there!

Please also document your findings for this platform -- I'm not sure
how common it is to run Amanda on a Raq, but I'm sure any hints will
be very helpful to the "next guy".
