 koji build javasqlite-20090409-3.fc11 disables sqlite extension loading
 which was initially enabled in 20090409-1.fc11.  Extension loading in this
 case is a potential security issue as it allows code that has access to
 the library in a JVM to load arbitrary native code into the JVM bypassing
 its security manager checks.

 Due to the nature of this issue and after discussing it with upstream, I'm
 requesting a F-11 freeze exception.

 I've verified from the koji build logs that extension loading is indeed
 off in this build (-DHAVE_SQLITE3_LOAD_EXTENSION=0).  This should not be a
 backwards compatibility issue as extension loading was on only about 10
 days in Rawhide/F-11 -only builds.
