[development] SQLite and Drupal 7 -- let's try this again

[Sam Tresler]

If I understand chx correctly having the database in a deployable file
would make installation even smoother AND install profiles would be able
to come 'fully deployed' as all the modules will have been already set
up in the system table.  This isn't really a huge performance increase
(although, a file read is faster than a db query).  It will make
deploying from staging a little trickier in multi server environments.

chx correct me if I am wrong, but are those the main goals of this?
