*cough*sqlite*cough*  If you're going to go with a DB out-of-the-box, (and I'm
not saying that's a good or bad thing), I can't imagine an easier type to
support than SQLite.  It's built-in for PHP5, the PECL module for php4
is simple to install... it's all easy.

dba is dying, we should leave it to it's quiet death.  There's big,
stinky bugs in the dba implementations in newer versions of PHP which many
people apparently just don't want to deal with.
