What I meant was that "SQLite" would have to be installed on the
system. As far as I know, it is not; although MySQL is. I just talked
to my friend and he told me the problem was that the owner of the
company was/is afraid of damaging the databases presently in use. We
are going to assure him that no such thing will happen and hopefully put
his mind at ease. At present all of their mail is handled by a third
party and they want to now handle it all in house.

I still think that supporting Berkeley DB is a worthwhile goal; however
that is my own 2¢.
