Hi All,

I've been working on sqlite3[1] as a replacement for the ageing sqlite  
extension, I've had a few people interested in getting this into 5.3  
and I think its definitely a possibility as the API is more or less  
finalised at this moment in time.

The reason that the current sqlite extension can't be modified is due  
to the libsqlite API changes, they just aren't compatible in any shape  
or form, they also use a different database format which would  
probably add to the confusion since this format isn't backwards  
compatible.

At the moment the only things left on my todo would be documentation  
and buffered queries.

I'd appreciate any feedback or comments about adding this.

Scott
