If it's that big of a deal, I'm sure it could be included and compiled
statically.  I haven't checked license to be sure.

You do raise another interesting point about getting started with small
deployments.  It may be worthwhile to compile in sqlite, which can be used
in an embedded fashion.  It'd be a great way for new users to get started
without having to bother with setting up an external RDBMS.
