Summary: a safer method

UNIFY suggests a method less likely to cause chaos.  Create a
subdirectory of $DBPATH (I always call it beware :-), cd to it,
ln ../unify.db to file.db, then ln file.db to file.dbr .  If you set the
value of $DBPATH, set it to "", then invoke SQL.  No need to patch UNIFY
binaries!
