Unfortunately there's a reason, which is the need for a module not yet 
ready for 0.7.x/0.8.x, node-sqlite3.  And so the desire for the latest 
0.6.19, in my crossed-up server.  I suppose I can limp along using 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for awhile.  

It'd be great to tap into the accumulating frustration with modules lagging 
core.  You probably saw a mention of someone asking about porting guidance 
here, referencing this same module, node-sqlite3, in mid-thread:
    "Node Addon: Threads and libuv ref counter (C++)"
    https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/nodejs/Sob97-QbtlA\

Some people are already trying to move on porting.  But how to equip them 
with the knowledge needed to do so?
