Well, for Steven's purposes, both fail ungracefully on network
shares.  From my understanding, BDB fails even harder (whereas the
sqlite doesn't so much fail as keep a locked write transaction locked
if it fails at the wrong time, so you have to force an unlock)

And all said, sqlite doesn't add that much overhead compared to the
many other libraries I've used that aren't nearly so well-tested.
