Maybe it would be best to just bundle the plugin and the sqlite with kdelibs. 
On compilation:
- if qt is compiled with sqlite, we're cool,
- if qt is compiled without sqlite, but there is sqlite in system, compile the 
plugin with system's backend,
- if there is no sqlite in qt and no sqlite installed, compile everything with 
the budnled code.

If this is desirable depends on the extent with which we want to have 
obligatory external dependencies. Anyhow, AFAIK, technically the above 
solution is rather simple, just copying the appropriate dir from qt and 
integrating it into the build process.
