This isn't a bad idea, it is certainly relevant for some cases.

But I don't think libbt should go about creating lots of data bases
on it's own, I instead suggest that libbt hands the information up to
the calling application, which can then save it any way it likes to.

Also, on initializing a torrent with libbt, an optional map of good
pieces could be sent by the application, and libbt would then assume
marked pieces are actually correct.
