Staffan,
The RFE you opened prompted me to take a closer look at this. Stumbling
blocks would be the ability to compile and link using VC++ and the license.
Botan itself is readily compiled using VC++. Plus they have a way of
generating a single amalgamation file that can be embedded in a
application. This would work well with ooSQLite.
It is not so easy to tell if the botansqlite3 code will compile under VC++,
but looking through the code, I do not see any obvious reason why it
wouldn't.
The license looks okay.
All in all, it looks like there is reason to expect it to be doable. At
this point, I think I will give it a shot around Christmas time. I'd
rather not get started on something new until I finish up what I am
currently working on, an ooDialog 4.2.1 release and an ooSQLite 1.0.0
release with complete documentation. I may try to get a build to work
before than if I have some time.
