It should be able to run Cyrus without touching the BDB code at all (for
that matter, it should be possible to run it without linking bdb).
However, even if you set all your databases to be skiplist, you still wind
up running Berkeley DB code in 2.2 (see bug 2120, which I just submitted).

2.2 still calls the init functions even if it doesn't use that particular
database backend.  Which means you probably get confusing (harmless) error
messages about the berkeley DB backend because there's no actual database
there.
