There already exists RDF::Trine::Store::SPARQL which can be used to work
with any store that exposes a SPARQL Protocol endpoint, albeit read-only.
Hopefully as SPARQL Update approaches standardisation, it will become
read-write, or acquire a read-write sister module.

One store I keep meaning to write is RDF::Trine::Store::JenaSDB to allow
Trine to use the SQL database stores created by Jena. SDB's data layout is
not a million miles away from how Trine's DBI store already works.
