If I understand this correctly you are attempting to dlopen a shared
library that is already dynamically linked to the executable. My
first reaction is yuck! That will only work if apr_dso_load uses the
same search path as the linker, and I seem to recall that people have
problems running the tests when RA/FS are loaded using apr_dso_load as
the search path doesn't do what we want, it doesn't include the build
tree for example.

I think you should avoid apr_dso_load, if configure doesn't detect
sqlite_threadsafe then it should simply do not call it. If you think
that is not good enough then perhaps we could require an additional
configure option, --enable-assume-sqlite-is-threadsafe say, and only
allow people to use an sqlite without sqlite_threadsafe if they enable
the extra option.
