Berkeley DB db_home not set, __db.00? files created in cwd (ITS#725)

I apologise if this is just me being thick, but I have looked through the docs
a few times ;). I'm using berkeley db 3.1 as the back end.

The libldbm backend doesn't set db_home when it opens the DBENV, neither is the
option set to allow the DB_HOME environment to be used. This means that unless
you
use the -r option for starting slapd (which I don't want to do), or change the
current working directory to something useful before starting slapd, you get
the shared working files that berkeley db 3.1 uses stuffed in the current
directory.

It would seem sensible to me (tho' I am new to openldap) to have an option to
set
db_home.
