I *was* missing something obvious. :-)

(Rather than doing a build-dep, simply install libdb3-dev and
libpcre3-dev by hand and, voila, it compiles. The exiscan-acl patch
produces more than a few warnings about pointer incompatibilities -
"dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules"
being the favourite - but it appears to compile happily).

Now I just need to try it on "deathstar" (not my naming policy *g*).
