OK, well I hope you'll find a lot has changed since the last time we  
used SQLite.  Startup/shutdown of SC happens much faster now, MySQL  
added a horrible amount of startup/shutdown delay.  Obviously, plugins  
that use MySQL-specific database features may need to be updated.

No, the old code doesn't support 5.10.  But you can run the exe  
version of one, and use ActivePerl for the other.
