RFE: rpm2cpio should not need db3

When rpm gets into a real mess and you can't install any packages - not
even to install a fixed version of rpm itself - then rpm2cpio can be a
big help. You can use rpm2cpio and cpio --extract to get some kind of
working rpm setup on the machine.
I'd like to request that rpm2cpio be built _not_ linked against db3, so
that if the db3 installation gets messed up somehow (as happened to me
when rpm crashed while upgrading db3) you can still use it.
