Luckily GNUnet doesn't need either transactions or multiple users
to access the DB. If someone would like to do SQLite plugin (or
whatever you want to call it), just send it in. ;) It shouldn't be a
very major modification to existing high_mysql.c, as the existing
code relies mostly on SQL and less on MySQL specific features. I'd
predict that it'd be mostly about changing function calls to whatever
SQLite offers. Same would go for postgresql or almost any SQL based
dbmgr.
