Hi Paul,

Thanks for noting that. I've looked to current sqlite build stuff on
Windows. It still does not support sqlite-amalgamation.

So I propose to implement only amalgamation option for sqlite, without
supporting to use "installed" version of library. Since there is no
term of installed libraries on Windows. I do not see benefits of using
sqlite compiled out of source tree on Windows. It can be only source
of problems if different compiler or compiler options will be used.

I volunteer to implement support for sqlite amalgamation on Windows,
if no one object to drop other sqlite build option on Windows.
