+# Our default setup excludes anything from /usr/ucblib (and consequently dbm)
+# as later modules assume symbols found are available in shared libs
+# On svr5 these are static archives which causes problems for
+# dynamic modules loaded later (and ucblib is a bad dream anyway)
+#
+# However there is a dbm library built from the ucb sources outside ucblib
+# at http://www.sco.com/skunkware (installing into /usr/local) so if we
+# detect this we'll use it. You can change the default
+# (to allow ucblib and its dbm or disallowing non ucb dbm) by
+# changing 'want_*' config values below to '' to disable or otherwise to enable
+
+# Leave leading tabs so Configure doesn't propagate variables to config.sh
