OR..  (responding to myself)..  We could follow the instructions at
http://osdir.com/ml/db.sqlite.general/2003-09/msg00162.html and use
sqlite_create_function(), sqlite_create_aggregate(), and the various 
sqlite_set_result_xxx() functions which "really do allow you to handle this 
type of application without too much difficulty."

But then I don't know if we can completely use GDA...  I don't know.
Maybe we can use GDA but append to the SQLite bit a little when we
know we're using SQLite?
