mSQL is available on bond.edu.au in /pub/Bond_Uni/Minerva/mSQL
(or similar)

It is only v0.3BETA, but seems to work fairly well.  I believe
it builds directly on Linux, and on NetBSD with little or no

If there is a lot of interest, perhaps someone here in the US
could arrange a mirror with the author, so tons of people aren't
pounding the only line into Australia?
