I'll point out that all of your problem is addressed by open source whereas an external library only addresses part.
You could do whatever you want with open source. I refuse to put things into mission critical without source unless support is also purchased with it. Michael D.

Just picking a random post to make my reply to. I truly wish I could get access to an external sqlite library to load at runtime. I use e devlopement language that has the sqlite library built into it so I am at the mercy of the language provider as to what is provided. Right now, they are using sqlite 3.7.4 which looks to be at least 7 releases out of date and lacks several features including fts4aux and rtree virtual tables. TO make matters worse, they don;t expose whatever function it is in sqlite that would allow me to load extensions to sqlite from external libraries. So while I think that in most circumstances it makes sense to compile the sqlite library into your application for all the reasons mentioned, I wish that was not the case in my circumstances.
