RIght...I've got that part.  But what I'm trying to do is compile and 
statically link the extension into the ruby executable itself.  I've 
created an entry in the <ruby>/ext/Setup file for bdb so that it will 
try and build it when Ruby builds.  When I try to make ruby it will 
actually try and compile the bdb extension, but without passing in the 
--with-db-dir parameter.  I need to know how to pass this parameter 
through to the extconf.rb file for the bdb extension when running the 
make file for ruby.
