This is my reply to both Tim first.

Tim: My Recommendations would be to see if you can find an embedded
version of SQLite or another
library that meets your requirement. For CGI I am not sure but maybe
Perl has a light weight version
if your willing to look at the Perl CPAN or other ecosystems.

Kevin: I talked to Christ Tyler and seems he has contacts at AMD and
google for GCC/Graphics. As for
embedded systems I will need to think about what parts I am interested in them.


Thanks for all the help for everyone,

Nick
