The auto-downloader will help with this, but if you've got a
misconfigured db_config.py this will still happen.

Bug description:
sqlite3 has the behavior that opening a nonexistent database file doesn't fail; it silently creates the db.

This means that people using the sqlite configuration don't find out that something is misconfigured until something tries to access the database and finds that the tables don't exist.

Instead, the sqlite config should check that the database file exists and fail (with an exception that's not ImportError) to import `settings` if it's missing.
