Yes, you're lucky, and we too, because the 4.3 -> 4.4 changes did not
affect the interfaces that bogofilter uses.

End users need to perform a log file format update when updating
Berkeley DB 4.3.X and older -> 4.4 though. (It doesn't matter for
first-time-ever installs, i. e. when there is not a database yet.)

Most of the database code was written in the time between db 4.1 and 4.2
releases, and most comments are from that time. I paid more attention to
get README.db and the code right and may have missed updating some of
the comments in the long code. All version checks for 4.3 checks were if
the ">=" kind, so we'd just blindly attempt 4.4, and it worked out well.

As David mentioned, "make check" in bogofilter, but we might see some
false alarms, i. e. "FAIL" results, if there are Cygwin
incompatibilities, because neither David nor I have done testing on
Cygwin.
