I think I have this mostly ready to go.  The upgrade code doesn't seem to
work, though, at least for existing libdb2 databases.

E: Unable to open DB file /tmp/cache.db: Invalid argument

i.e., EINVAL is being returned, rather than DB_OLD_VERSION.  Is this
supposed to work, or are these databases just too old?

(I changed the error message to use db_strerror rather than Errno, since
'err' is being used instead of errno)

Did it exist at the time?
