Would be cool if we can support Rasterlite ( [http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/] ) as raster backend. Easy and fast, with support for pyramids levels and wavelets compressions. It has performance faster than ECW with the appropriate parameters, and can handle a sqlite3 database of > than 3 GB for bigger rasters in a glance.

I actually have working code, but only with a development version of Rasterlite that Alessandro will be releasing next. Also i'm working with Alessandro to fix the license incompatibility and have it released under LGPL (so that it could be integrated with mapnik seamlessly).
