I believe the configure script is not maintained. It probably needs more
patches than this.

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?

Nico
