Hey Ilia/Wez,

I came across Google Gears completely by accident (thanks Madeleine D), and 
thereby fell across the fts2 (full text search) module in SQLite 3. It looks 
like one of those killer feature thingies from here.

Is there any chance for its inclusion in the PDO_SQLITE version? Or is it 
too unstable/under-tested at present, or are there other reasons for not 
embracing SQLite modules?

- there's a patch there for a static build.

I have plans for adding the support for it, however last I checked  
there was fts v1 and a much improved (newer) fts2. I was waiting for  
fts2 to be more tested before making it available. Probably on the  
next lib update.
