Added gdbm to SimGear. Many systems will already have gdbm installed so

it is only built if it doesn't already exist on the user's platform.
gdbm is a set of database routines that use extendible hashing and works
similar to the standard UNIX dbm routines.  This guarantees the availability
of gdbm to any application that uses SimGear.
