Hey, Unless anyone objects I'm going to enable the sqlite extension by default for PHP5. The extension comes with the bundled sqlite library which is 1.5mb in total (cd ext/sqlite/libsqlite/src/; du -ch *.c *.h), and is a good alternative to using MySQL for small sites. The sqlite library is licensed to the public domain and provides a complete database solution in a small library - no server required. For more information take a look at http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/.
On one hand I think having 1.5MB in our release tree is quite a lot (can anything be removed)? On the other hand, I think bundling and enabling this by default will really help lots of small users who have a web account but no DB access. So I'm around a +0 :) Andi
