I thought MySQL was overkill. I was hoping to run the shaper on a diskless
machine booting from flash ram or cd. 

But I must confess I didn't look at it very carefully before posting:
storing the configuration and accounting in MySQL on a different server
could be useful for failover. And it might be possible to use SQLite
locally instead.
