Because that would then require anyone who wanted to run a PHPWiki would
need to know or learn how to do things with MySQL.  Yes it's free, yes it's
relatively easy to GUI your way around things, but it's still a significant
learning hump.  Oh, and PHP5 doesn't have the MySQL module in it's core set
of features any more, due to the changed licencing of MySQL.

Throw SQLite at the problem instead, though, and you get much the same sort
of external appearance, without the hideous interface of DBA (you get the
hideous interface of SQL instead <g>).
