AFAICT, there are two obvious ways to do this:

1. Have two SQLite drivers, one using a single file, the other using
one file per map. These can both be built from the same directory (see
the db/drivers/mysql, which builds both the mysql and mesql drivers).

2. If DB_DATABASE refers to an existing directory or ends in a slash,
create a file in that directory with the same name as the map. 
Otherwise treat it as the name of the DB file used for all maps.
