Thanks.

I'm working on integrating SQLite3 into OpenSolaris.  So I wonder if I
should enable this feature, and what the risks are.  The security risk
is already addressed via sqlite3_enable_load_extension().  Interface
instability might be a risk -- I don't know yet but I'll assume this is
a risk.

Finally, w.r.t. object code size, I see that the --enable-shared
configure option only enables building a shared library -- it does not
actually build the sqlite3 shell (nor sqlite3_analyzer) to use that
shared library.  That'd be a useful option, at least for us.  Would you
welcome a patch?
