The same is true with the PHP sqlite module (both the "old" one, included
in PHP sources of 5.x, and the "new" one that uses PDO) :-( I really
wonder why authors choose to go in this direction...

If anyone wants to take a go at ripping out the sqlite sources from both
the PHP and perl modules, and have them link against shared libraries
instead, that would be great!
