Last month I started looking at what would be necessary for a 
mysql-embedded driver, and the answer is not much. Except there 
are no packages of mysql-embedded out there, so (at least for 
Mandrake) I would also need to package mysql-embedded in 
addition to gambas (maybe since it's an embedded library it 
would be okay to make a "gambas-mysql-embedded" package.) What 
complicates this is that mysql is already packaged for Mandrake 
and most other distros, but they all seem to have disabled the 
embedded stuff. Only PLD Linux provides a mysql-devel with 
libmysqld.a, which is what you link against to use embedded 
mysql. 

There are sqlite RPM's out there, but of course coding a totally 
new driver is going to be a lot harder than just tweaking the 
mysql driver to use mysql-embedded.
