Sqlite 3.6.20

A note for developers...

My T2 compile that I'm doing for Quirky (that's still chugging along) has Sqlite 3.6.20. However, compile failed as it complained that it needed 'tclsh', even though I had specified '--disable-tcl'.

I rolled back to Sqlite 3.6.12, that was in a T2 compile I did in April 2009. That does compile without Tcl.

I joined the Sqlite mail-list and asked about this. I was advised to use the 'sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.20.tar.gz' source. Sure enough, that compiles without Tcl.

Get it from here:

The "amalgamation" is explained here:

I have compiled SeaMonkey 2.0 in T2. Note that it can use the system Sqlite, but it must be version >= 3.6.16. Earlier SeaMonkeys have an internal Sqlite, so this saves space.
