sqlite3 requires the directory where the database resides to be
writeable by the user. This presents a problem on multiuser UNIX systems
where they may want to limit areas where users have write access.
This rewrite totally scraps the sqlite3 database in favor of a pretty
simple json file consisting of an array of posts. flock(2) locking is
used to synchronize access to the file and make sure two clients aren't
trying to write to it at once. The locking is fairly granular right now,
but later I may change it to using a single lock for the duration of
execution since race conditions are *possible*, if unlikely for the
purposes of clinte's intended use.
