Possibly double posting this (pardon), emails being a bit wonky on my
end at the moment... 
Either way, I took a stab at implementing a sqlite backend for rekall
should anyone be interested- the patch is up at 
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ferringb/rekall-sqlite-20041005.patch.bz2 for
rekall v2.2.1, developed against sqlite v2.8.15 (probably works with
3.0.7, but no gurantees).  It'll require rebuilding the
makefiles/configure scripts via
make -f Makefile.cvs kde3

Offhand, select/delete/insert/update queries should work fine, table
creation/rename/altering should behave, and sqlite -> rekall type
mapping should mostly behave.

Still slogging through dealing w/ sqlite's typelessness, so bugs
probably remain in terms of column properties, autoincrement fex.  

Either way, been fooling around with it, and it appears to be behaving
fairly well, so any adventurous souls who feel like doing some testing,
feedback would definitely be appreciated.
