I hate to say this, but I think the "real solution" is go give-in to the current trend of pushing eveything to a "web application" and run it from a server in "the cloud". That could be something like the way NoteSelf uses Nodeant or TiddlySpot. Personally I think this takes away from the advantages of TiddlyWiki (one file you can copy anywhere and open in any browser).
Nodeant is a CouchDB SaaA; so you can run your own CouchDB instead (I've been doing that successfully for about a week now).
