No, not easily. Embedded mysql isn't very well separated from the
rest. It uses automake, not cmake (though its possible a guy on
internals at lists.mysql.com is sitting on a cmake version). After
stripping away the obviously-not-needed stuff, it still weighted in at
50 mb of source code.

Sqlite is popular for a reason. Embedding it is so trivial. I think
the pros of mysql outweigh that con though.
