No, my description was just bogus. This is not about when sqlite gets
a minor update, but rather when either

 A. sqlite gets downgraded in a minor way, or, more likely,
 B. subversion is installed using pre-built binaries that were built
    against a slightly newer version of sqlite.

This test was already a '<' rather than '!=' so minor sqlite updates
were already handled fine.

Thanks for the sanity check. I'll sleep on this for now, planning to
resend with a new log message and some other tweaks tomorrow.
