This has made 0.14 difficult to use.  I'm limited to 20Mb of space in my
home directory, which is mostly taken up by Bogofilter, BerkeleyDB, and
wordlists.  bogofilter 0.14 is about 4Mb, while 0.13 was around 2
something.  I tried switching to tdb since it is a lot smaller than
BerkeleyDB, but configure doesn't have support for --with-tdb=$HOME.  I
tried setting LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS but configure still couldn't find
tdb.h.
