Not really, just the fact that having users be in sqlite isn't a problem
since nobody really writes to the userdb that often.  That's not the
case with the job database.  But we should most likely use the same DB
for everything.  So if you've got a patch, I'll take it.  It should be
fairly straightforward since we don't need any of the Unique ID crap
(email addresses are the index key here).
