I think there are some persistent misunderstandings about Sqlite
in this thread,  Sqlite offers concurrent access already.  
What Sqlite doesn't offer is high performance concurrent write
access.  That is, it locks the entire database for the duration 
of a write operation.  Given that most such operations are pretty
short, for a small number of concurrent writers this is not a 
big problem.
