whatever is picked, it should probably receive some scrutiny for 
portability or in general how widely ported it is.  At first glance, 
sqlite passes a zero order sanity check (minimal dependencies, minimal 
patches in NetBSD's pkgsrc).  I tried building on solaris/sparc and it 
built.  You'd be suprised (maybe not) at how many packages need 57 
patches to build on non-(linux-i386) systems.
