Given that BDB is bundled with some distros we support building and 
running against the system installed BDB, and that's the defacto when 
the bdb repo is not in your environment. Some of us still use the forest 
extension ;^) and an fpull will sync bdb even if not initially cloned.

We included a small footprint implementation of Berkeley DB, called 
Restricted Data Store (RDS). It is a minimal build of Berkeley DB that 
supports only b-tree access, and provides a simple Java interface to 
support the functionality required by the runtime (Jigsaw will also use 
the native interface).
