You might also check out my patches from this winter.
It creates a seperate daemon that abstracts csync2 calls into rpc
calls. (Actually it's more of an sql daemon).
Because of the abstraction it's easy to talk to another database
from within the daemon.
I have this working for a long time, and it takes away any
locking issues by serializing the requests to the sqlite
database. The downside is that you cannot access the sqlite
database with sqlite3 :-).
But the main point was: the abstraction layer and rpc was working
pretty well.
