+libdb4 compatibility adjustments.
+
+In particular, this patch adds extra file permission checking and passes the
+DB_CREATE flag to the first invocation of db_open on the file's database
+structure, which rids us of the following message:
+
+  BDB0635 DB_CREATE must be specified to create databases.

+18dbpagesize_binpower.dpatch by  <hesso@pool.math.tu-berlin.de>
+
+
+Make sure that the pagesize passed to db__set_pagesize() is a power of two.
+
+nvi stores the content of files in BDB database structures. When initiating a
+file, it picks a page size for the database to fit the file within 15 pages,
+with a minimal page size of 1K and maximal of 10K.
+
+In vanilla nvi, this size is calculated as a multiple of 1024. Modern versions
+of BDB, however, require the page size of a database to be a power of two, which
+this patch addresses, ridding us of the following message:
+
+  BDB0511 page sizes must be a power-of-2
