Oh, poking around while working on the spatialite 4 build - the upcoming GDAL 
1.10 has updates for spatialite 4.  This means I should wait for the GDAL 1.10 
release before updating my SQLite framework for spatialite 4.  This would also 
make the rebuild of everything else a lot simpler for me (everything that 
depends on GDAL) - 1 complete rebuild later is better than 2 rebuilds in 
relatively quick succession.

Nothing clear yet, but I think they're aiming for the end of the year.
