maildrop-1.3.8 rpm doesn't build out of the box

Machine info: RPM version 4.0, Mandrake 8.0, Linux 2.4.8, x86 hardware.

I run 'rpm -ta maildrop-1.3.8.tar.gz' as a normal user. After running
for a second or two it exits with the following message:

    configure: error: --enable-userdb requires --with-db
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.79661 (%prep)

The option '--with-db' is missing where configure is invoked in the prep
section of the maildrop.spec file. I added '--with-db=db' and the rpm
builds fine.

But I don't know that this is the best solution as the build won't work
if the build machine does not have the Berkely DB library. Maybe the
problem is that the '--enable-userdb' option thinks it needs the
'--with-db' option when perhaps gdbm or db support is compiled in by
default? I'm just guessing this since there is a '--without-db'
configure option.
