Ooops!  I withdraw that statement!  The search for DB_CONFIG missed the 
following entries:

DB_ENV->set_cachesize
DB_ENV->set_data_dir
DB_ENV->set_flags
DB_ENV->set_lg_bsize
DB_ENV->set_lg_max
DB_ENV->set_lk_detect
DB_ENV->set_mp_mmapsize
DB_ENV->set_shm_key
DB_ENV->set_tmp_dir
DB_ENV->set_verbose

A couple of those are rather important.  So, I will continue to be be 
doubtful of the SEARCH engine at sleepycat.com.

What it did find was three variations of each of:

DB_ENV->set_tas_spins
DB_ENV->set_timeout
DB_ENV->set_lk_max_locks
DB_ENV->set_lg_regionmax
DB_ENV->set_lk_max_objects
DB_ENV->set_lk_max_lockers
DB_ENV->set_tx_max
DB_ENV->set_lg_dir

Bottom Line: don't trust the search engine at sleepycat.com :-(
