I'm definitely one for 'quiet' software, but knowing the version of libdb is a really nice detail when assisting users of OpenLDAP. This would make it that much easier to have them find it. I'd argue there's a bit of precedent:

main.c: Debug( LDAP_DEBUG_ANY, "%s", Versionstr, 0, 0 );


The negative, of course, is the noise. But what's ~60 bytes in this day and age?
