It is certainly a solution that would earn less critizism from the Kolab
side, but even sqlite is currently not part of the Kolab base server. I
will try to find a solution for this once the core parts work well enough.
At the moment people could just install sqlite on their Kolab machine if
they require these parts of the Horde functionality. I still need to add
that to the instructions on the Horde page in the Kolab wiki.

I am still far away from tackling this :)
