I am quite aware of that and in touch with the developer since when the word rasterlite first came to my ears (two years ago). I will meet the developer (who will be giving a talk about this) in a couple of weeks in Italy. It is also the reason of my concerns about spatialite libraries and 64 bit windows. I wanted to give a start to the featuremodel (didn't work out, too many problems with the missing libs, so my momentum faded. The raster model will be quite different and not sql called, if I got that correctly. But that is the format I really care about, so we'll see. Anyways, I will keep you posted after I get how things are going to be.
