FYI. There's no need to pin back the whole db version just to get the old style dbdump format. The original dump is available from the distribution as a standalone program here:
http://www.sqlite.org/src/artifact/819eb33f6ff788a4 --dbdump.c-- ** If this file is compiled with -DDBDUMP_STANDALONE then a "main()" routine ** is included so that this routine becomes a command-line utility. The ** command-line utility takes two or three arguments which are the name ** of the database file, the schema, and optionally the table Compile and enjoy.
