Initial commit of work pertaining to switching the Windows build from Berkeley DB 4.4.20 to 4.7.25. Note that I've deprecated the standalone '_bsddb44.vcproj' in lieu of adding the sources in a separate folder to the _bsddb project. This was a conscious decision and actually makes everything far more easier to manage. With this approach, entire test suite passed straight off the bat. Well, almost -- the timeout in bsddb/test/test_replication.py needed bumping up a little -- 2 seconds was too short. 10 seconds seems to be fine for me, but I'll make sure Jesus verifies. More documentation to come once I've been able to test out this approach on the buildbots (hence keeping the changes in a separate branch for now).

Bump Berkeley DB version from 4.4.20 to 4.7.25.

I've also introduced a slightly new pattern for managing externals in subversion. New components get checked in as <name>-<version>.x, where <version> matches the exact vendor version string. After the initial import of the external component, the .x is tagged as .0 (i.e. tcl-8.4.18.x -> tcl-8.4.18.0). Some components may not need any tweaking, whereas there are others that might (tcl/tk fall into this bucket). In that case, the relevant modifications are made to the .x branch, which will be subsequently tagged as .1 (and then n+1 going forward) when they build successfully and all tests pass. Buildbots will be converted to rely on these explicit tags only, which makes it easy for us to switch them over to a new version as and when required. (Simple change to external(-amd64).bat: if we've bumped tcl to 8.4.18.1, change the .bat to rmdir 8.4.18.0 if it exists and check out a new .1 copy.)
