Hi Hugo Some technical opinion are available in related PR done by Mark to propose a new Spatialite provider. The general opinion is to check before if it make sense to remove spatialite limitations in the gdal provider to sqlite. There are also opinon that the PR is actually not so simple to review, for the complexity and extension. Oslandia can do it if apport more to his business. IMHO I can't see any problem to merge it after review and have a new or parallel spatialite provicer. In any case, the Oslandia work related with custom osgeo4w packaging (see madeira hackmeeting presentations in the event wiki) can simplify the need to create a custom package with a packaged experimental spatialite provier. This was the intent of the "extra" folder if I well remember. I invite Mark to give it a look.
