The "fossil" configuration management system (used to control the documentation of SQLite - see http://www.fossil-scm.org/ for details and http://www.sqlite.org/docsrc/timeline for an example) calls system() after sqlite3_open() in multiple places and it works just fine on Linux, OSX, various other flavors of unix, and even win32. Are you sure that SQLite is to blame here? D.
