I will fix the few things that people mentioned and upload a new src.rpm
to my webspace, but I am no longer for the time being going to request
inclusion in extras. I'll leave the src.rpm up if someone else wants to.

The reason is twofold:
1) I think that I think it should link against the installed SQLite
rather than include its own.
I will try to work on that this summer and see if upstream will accept
it as a configure option. That seems to be in line with the stated fc5
goals on the wiki as well, as it reduces the risk of a security patch
going un-noticed.

2) The package I want that depends on perl-SQLite is probably not going
to be ready until after fc5 is released anyway, so my need for this
package is no longer pressing issue.
