This might be a silly question, but have you considered Firebird? I know that the original Interbase Database from Borland had one of the best embedded databases available a few years ago. I am not certain that when they opened the code and Firebird was birthed that they kept that embedded side, but I am pretty sure the footprint of Firebird is rather tiny for its robust feature set. There might be licensing conflicts depending on all the pieces involved (i.e. I don't recall the firebird license), but it would be worth looking into. I still think Chris Browne has some valid points about "faking" an embedded postgres. I think currently the group is just not willing to look past the immediate trees to see the forest. A good deal of this stems from the fact that the needs of a "Quicken" replacement is vastly different in philosophy than what is necessary for a small business accounting system. Trying to make one source tree use the same 'requirements' and 'philosophy' for two vastly different problem domains makes things difficult.
