Given how essential SQLite is in WC-NG I cannot see anything but a +1.
In terms of anticipating problems, do you know if the Python module
will pick up the SQLite library we build with? If I get Python from
my distribution, it seems likely the module might pick up the library
from my distribution and not use the amalgamation or whatever version
I am building with. Given that we need a fairly new SQLite in SVN,
this seems like a potential problem area.
That said, maybe the way Python uses SQLite it does not matter if an
old library is used?
