Spotify is a database app; every app is... Studying how simple apps is
good so people can develop them with minimal amount of programming...

Yes, please send individual fixes for review.

The issue with SQLite is probably related to lib/plugins paths, that
are different on Mac as we know... kexi tries to find:

KStandardDirs::locate("module", QLatin1String("kexidb_sqlite3_icu"
SHARED_LIB_EXTENSION)))

then calls loadExtension(). You can grep for it.
