[poky] [PULL]Fix adding GDBM_File module for perl

[Mark Hatle]

I've been doing some thinking about how various perl and related components 
should be implemented if they do potentially optional things.

My concern is that by adding gdbm to the build, that other components will 
change and potentially require more disk space.  We really need a way to 
optionally use gdbm, if available in these configurations.  I'm really not sure 
if there is currently a way to tell bitbake:

I really want gdbm, but if nothing else wants it.. I don't want it.  Then for 
LSB specific builds, we manually require gdbm as an LSB requirement (due to the 
gdbm perl module requirements.)

Richard, any suggestions on how to work with this?
