I'm trying to compile the BerkeleyDB ruby extension into the ruby 
executable for ruby 1.8.2.  I've placed the extension directory 
underneath the <ruby>/ext directory.  When I do configure and make the 
build process tries to build the BerkleyDB extension but it fails 
because it can't find the Berkeley libraries.  Normally when building 
this extension you have to specifiy the --with-db-dir=<db dir> 
parameter when running the extconf.rb file.  But I cannot figure out 
how to pass this same information into the configure/make process for 
ruby.  Anyone have any ideas regarding this?
