Ack.  libetpan-config output keeps changing in dependence on what
build requirements libetpan is built with. The added -ldb in

  $ libetpan-config --libs
  -L/usr/lib -letpan -pthread -ldb -lsasl2

is an upstream bug, though. It's redundant:

  $ ldd /usr/lib/libetpan.so.3 | grep db
          libdb-4.3.so => /lib/tls/i686/libdb-4.3.so (0x009e3000)

On the contrary, -lsasl2 leads to a hard requirement, since libetpan
needs it for some sasl_* symbols, which would be undefined.
