Currently, only dependencies we have in KexiDB is that KexiDB::DriverManager 
(that is in fact driver factory) uses KDE's KServices as Drivers database. And 
  some kdebugs. So, we plan to extract appropriate layer that makes KexiDB 
fully qt-only lib and move kde-dependencies to thin sub-layer.

We have now sqlite's sources in kexi/3rdparty/ dir, although not yet modified. 
We are prepared to modifications, if any reasonable idea will come, but still 
we are hardly trying to use just original sqlite sources.
