You sound motivated, and from your other answers farther along that you initially let out. Given that it's a subject of interest to me, I'd gladly have a closer look once it's available somewhere. As far as back-ends, I have experience with SQLite and Oracle OCI.
I'll let you know :-)
Talking about Oracle too, what about "Object-Relational" support? This support is mandatory I believe to get into XMLType and all the Oracle Spatial "datatypes". In my experience, you can't wrap / automate everything, and you need to leave the door open for raw access to the underlying API to communicate directly with the back-end "natively". My $0.02. --DD
Yes, the library would have to offer several back doors. There is just no way to cover all, I guess.
