Wouldn't SQLite fit better...?

What about making your patches public somewhere? This way other people  
can benefit from your work, maybe port to a more recent version, and  
maybe lobby for the inclusion of the patches...

If you don't have a suitable webspace, I'm willing to host your patch.  
It's not the first time I do this (this reminds me that I can remove  
the HDA tarball I host, we have a working HDA driver in -current now).

Bye,
Alexander.
