I don't think I'm going to do that. The C function names have changed 
because their prototypes have changed. There's no real reason to change 
the module name except for the upgrade issue.

I'll always ship getsqlite.pl which will allow users to upgrade. And I'll 
gladly accept a patch which makes it optional if it finds an installed 
sqlite, but I won't make it the default, and I don't have any need for it 
myself so I won't personally be working on it.
