Geary's low-level DB layer isn't too tightly coupled to the app. You 
might be just able to pull out the classes under src/engine/db, replace 
the use of Geary.BaseObject with GLib.Object for any classes that use 
it and be good to go.

I'd definitely be open to breaking it out as a separate library if it 
means more people contributing to it. In particular, it would be great 
to add a high-level query interface like JPA/Hibernate criteria queries 
so we can stop doing SQL munging in the app.
