This is a part of the installation notes on Evolution - as it says,
don't even bother *installing* db3 - just build it off in a corner
somewhere and statically link Evo against it.  This is important becaue
the actual .so files introduce changes in file format, which is why it
tells you to statically link against that exact version - to guarantee
all Evolution binaries can swap and use other binaries' files.

Point is, don't try forcing Evo to link against another version, and
don't make some hacked-up db3 3.1.17 package - just statically link.
