At least try it before you go bitching that it won't work.

No, this is the proper way:

Build it in a tmp dir, point in there during compilation of Evolution,
then delete when you're done.  It's taken you more time to complain
about it than it would've taken you to do it :)

Or hack evolution's configure script to not give a damn about the
version of db3 you have.  Of course, if this ever breaks on you then
you'd know who to blame ;-)
