Hi Roger,
Thank for the pointers, I do know the first two extensions functions.
I would use them if I decide to ship a copy of the extension. But I
did not consider using Statically Linked Extensions via
sqlite3_auto_extension. The issue arise from the fact that there is at
least one sqlite3IcuInit() call - in sqlite's main.c.
