You are of course correct, but this will have to be dealt with sooner or
later. Better now while we have some time rather than later when FC4 is
out and upgrading is borked. In the meantime I'll hold off on building
the FC3 packages so that we can do it properly.

The question at this point becomes whether we should patch kannel  for
sqlite 3 or create a sqlite2 package (python-sqlite for sqlite 3 already
exists in Rawhide and can just be imported).

Also, there's php-pecl-sqlite. It has its own private copy of libsqlite,
but are the file formats the same between sqlite 2.8 and 3?
