The test/format program randomly generates WiredTiger databases with
different configurations and different size objects and then does
operations on those files.  The goal is to test the WiredTiger file
formats.

test/format should be linked with a version of Berkeley DB (which it
uses to verify format's results).  Use the configuration option
--with-berkeleydb=DIR to specify the top-level of an installed Berkeley
DB distribution directory, for example:

	--with-berkeleydb=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.3
