Well a couple of items.

for basic rhel3 use we should:
- make sure the sqlite use is completely optional so if someone wants to
use yum w/o it - just using elementTree xml parsing, they can
- requiring optik for python 2.2 is also fine - notably up2date requires
it for rhel3 so it's GOING to be there.
