No, I (the Glom upstream maintainer) really don't want this experimental
feature to be enabled in regular builds. However, there _should_ be a
separate build that can use sqlite.

The reasons are 
a) It complicates the UI with an option that the regular user has no interest 
in. The backend implementation is of no interest to the target users.
b) It complicates the maintenance. We would then have to test with two backends 
and solve bugs that only exist in sqlite. We have enough problems without that.
c) There is at least one known bug with the sqlite backend: 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600874
d) sqlite does not have all the functionality we want, such as network sharing 
and users/groups access control.

Note that all Glom builds can _use_ sqlite-based .glom files, but only a
special build of Glom could _create_ a sqlite-based .glom file.
