Unfortunately, libmdb already exists in modern linux systems as part of the mdb-tools package. This would be a problematic conflict for getting MDB packaged in general. As a proposal, how about liblmdb as the new name? I haven't been able to find any instances of that existing in the wild.
This is basically a continuation of this thread http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/201111/msg00063.html
I think liblmdb for the name of the library file is fine. Do we need to change any other instances of "mdb" as well, or can we just let them slide?
We seem fine with mdb_copy and mdb_stat. However, "mdb.h" seems to be common:

mdbtools, at least, used mdbtools.h
