Log:
* db_recover is no longer required after changing DB_CONFIG; slapd now
  detects changes itself and does the right thing.  Also note in
  README.DB_CONFIG the existence of the dbconfig slapd.conf parameter
  and slapd's DB_CONFIG writing support.  (Closes: #412575)

-Note that changes to DB_CONFIG will only have any effect after (re-)creating

-db_recover or dump and reload your data.
+The current version of OpenLDAP supports putting DB_CONFIG parameters into
+slapd.conf instead by prefixing those options with dbconfig.  See the
+slapd-bdb(5) man page for more information.  If there is no DB_CONFIG file
+when slapd starts and there are dbconfig lines in slapd.conf, slapd will
+write out a DB_CONFIG file with those settings before initializing the
