+ # still gets created without the necessary g+w permission, due to
+ # SQLite's policy. This should only affect SQLite engines because its
+ # the only one that creates a little file on the local file system.
+ # This kludges around their bug by "touch"ing the database file before
+ # SQLite has any chance to create it, thus honoring the umask and
+ # ensuring the right permissions. We only try to do this for SQLite
+ # engines, and yes, we could have chmod'd the file after the fact, but
