Yes, and strangely enough that does include me.

I thought this thread ended three days ago :) It seems everyone on the dev 
team wants to keep ext/skeleton in the core, I'm not going to argue with 
y'all over it.

I know. I've even been responsible for shipping those DLLs before now, 
remember? I don't understand what the problem is here.

> That's "one-step", right?

No, it isn't. You need to have PDO 'turned on' before you can have SQLite 
enabled under doze. That's not only not "one-step", it's also fairly "wtf".

Erm, under *nix sqlite is enabled by default....!
