KForge uses sqlobject so you should be able to use KForge with any 
database backend supported by sqlite. However currently we create the 
sqlobject uri from the information you enter in your config file as 
follows (see [1]):

uri = "%s://%s:%s@%s/%s" % (dbType, dbUser, dbPass, dbHost, dbName)

Since sqlite requires uris of the form:

sqlite:///full/path/to/database

this is problematic. The obvious solution is to either:

1. Change your dm.db module to have:

if dbType == 'sqlite':
     uri = '%s:/%s' % (dbType, dbName)
else:
     uri = "%s://%s:%s@%s/%s" % (dbType, dbUser, dbPass, dbHost, dbName)

2. OR you could add a new uri variable to the db section of your config 
and add then change dm.db module to have:

uri = self.dictionary['db.uri']

I haven't tried either of these so please let me know how it goes as it 
would be good to feed whatever patch you use back into trunk.
