- People were having problems with the .so when installing in alternative locations. Like gitian, build a static library with -fPIC that can be embedded into the executables
- Add some missing steps, and mention how to use our self-built version of BDB in the bitcoin build
- Add reminder that BerkeleyDB is only needed when wallet support is enabled
- Log BerkeleyDB version at startup (if wallet support enabled)

Log BerkeleyDB version at startup

Prints the actual version of BerkeleyDB that is linked against, if
wallet support is enabled.

Useful for troubleshooting.

For example:

    2014-05-01 07:44:02 Using BerkeleyDB version Berkeley DB 4.8.30: (April 9, 2010)

    2014-05-01 07:54:25 Using BerkeleyDB version Berkeley DB 5.1.29: (October 25, 20 11)

Automatic sanity-testing: PASSED, see http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/bfb154e9fcfdbbd17aaef2e6e36542529cc8d6fd for binaries and test log. This test script verifies pulls every time they are updated. It, however, dies sometimes and fails to test properly. If you are waiting on a test, please check timestamps to verify that the test.log is moving at http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/current/ Contact BlueMatt on freenode if something looks broken.
