done (r738459)

"sqlite2 is no longer supported by Kexi. Use Kexi 1.x to migrate to sqlite3 if 
you need."

Is there a way to say "I accept sqlite 3.3.x and not 3.4.x" on compile time, 
not the runtime?

I also have a good news: later (I hope for KOffice 2 stable) I would not need 
some or even all the patches in sqlite, once similar are applied to the almost 
new sqlite version.

I've read it again. It was a talk about an issue with sqlite versioning.
I would like to have sqlite versions well separated by distros: one format 
-from another.
However, as kexidb goes outside of Kexi and KOffice (after requests from 3rd 
party devs), sqlite will be outside as well.
