Actually, yes.  There is no ifdef of any sort that disables compilation of
map_cache if db.h doesn't exist, even though there's a configure test for it.
This is a bug that will prevent xastir from building on cygwin.

The fix should be simple --- I'm test compiling it on cygwin now and will 
commit it in a few minutes.  The anonymous CVS repository won't be up to date 
for a few hours (I think), so the fix is this: in map_cache.c there's an 
#ifdef USE_MAP_CACHE whose matching #endif is immediately after the "warning".  
Move the #endif to the end of the file so the entire thing is skipped 
if USE_MAP_CACHE isn't defined.  USE_MAP_CACHE is only defined if the Berkeley 
DB library and headers is found.
