This and especially portability is why I argued--unsuccessfully--for a separate 
sqlite DB for each vector file, even if it is inefficient.

Is it is possible to set a single SQLite database

its own sqlite db file?

organize your system as you like, but be sure to ask yourself what
happens to portability with 32bit machines and/or filesystems when the overall 
DB file gets to be larger than 2gb or 4gb in size.
Even per-mapset sqlite DBs worry me a bit for that, not to mention
the damage-fallout from a bad HD sector or accidental `rm` and
ease of moving stuff to another mapset/ system by hand.
