It's probably more appropriate on the developer list, but the developers are
mostly listening here too.

Well, given that it is a pure C library it doesn't seem like it would be
appropriate for Boost.  Nothing wrong with C, but Boost is all about C++.  Or
are you thinking of putting on a C++ layer? Maybe like this one:

Here's something that would rock for boost -- an archiver implementation for
Robert Ramey's serialization library (http://rrsd.com/boost/index.htm) which
uses SQLite for storage...

ps: I'm pretty certain that a db access library (like dtl) would make a really
nice Boost addtion.
