We provide DBDEAD() as a macro.  It's source compatible but not ABI
compatible with 0.53.  Yes, we probably should have bumped the library
version.  I'm sure our release engineering department will take care of that
for the next release :-)

Whoops.  Wasn't the stated plan to provide DBDEAD() as a
backwards-compatible alias to dbdead()?  Removing symbols without bumping
the soname is a library no-no.  If the DBDEAD() symbol is being dropped
altogether, I'd very much like to see a 0.61 release that fixes the
soname.
