I'd prefer not to depend on more tools or libraries not provided by 
default.

I see yum also uses sqlite on the client side. Yum appears to only 
download gzipped xml files. Then yum puts it into that sqlite format after 
retrieved.

I don't know sqlite. But I think that for now native dbopen(2) might be 
fine if we really need speedier access.
