Request for permission: Drop module bsddb185 in Python 2.7



Trying to create a patch to make python 2.7 pkgsrc version compatible
with my bsddb3 library, I have discovered that pkgsrc python 2.7
compiles module "bsddb185". That module is so ancient that is not even
present in the Python 2.7 documentation at <https://docs.python.org/2/>.
It even has a faq:
<https://docs.python.org/2/faq/general.html?highlight=bsddb185#what-is-this-bsddb185-module-my-application-keeps-complaining-about>.

Note that "modern" bsddb module was included in 2.3, at that point
bsddb185 was obsolete.

I request permission to "extirpate" bsddb185 from pkgsrc version of
python2.7 (a simple line edit).
