From what I learned, it's intentionally. FILE is defined, but is an incomplete
type, search on pkgsrc-users for "[PATCH] databases/db4" for the patch to fix
this ;)

The POSIX/SUSv3 standards don't say anything about what FILE should be (other
than that it should be defined with typedef) ... so whatever it is, as long as
it's defined, it's standard compliant :P
