It's very much not compatible.  Berkeley DB is not free for commercial
use.  I anticipate that this would be a problem both for commericial
users of PostgreSQL and also for commercial PostgreSQL forks.
Besides, that's a lot of code to suck into Postgres to do, uh, a lot
of things that we already do in other ways.
