Because Kevin asked about 4.2.

But since you asked about 4.8:

http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.tar.gz

is the current tarball for 4.8.

Doesn't look like they support viewing an index of the directory, so you can't
just poke around and find one particular file without knowing it's there.
