just keep up the good work!

i ran about 200,000 jobs through an nfs mounted priority queue i implemented
using your sqlite module in about 200 lines of code in the last week without
error.  30 clients accessing the queue with no central server - i'm blow away
by the possiblities opened up by developing apps using ruby on top of sqlite -
it's an awesome combo so i think your package is poised to see some heavy use.

cheers.
