I thought about this solution as well, but I think it would be more helpful to
fix the driver or go the sqlite route...

Markus has suggested this repeatedly
(http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass5/2005-February/017368.html,
http://www.intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=815&display=History,
http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass5/2005-May/018415.html), but AFAIK no one
has undertaken any concrete steps. I would support the motion, though...
