If you gunzip the above file, it will result in
sqlite3-3.6.17-osx-x86.bin. This is the sqlite3 shell program. If you
set its executable bit with 'chmod +x', you can run this file and get
sqlite3.

However, on a Mac you don't really want this. Just download the source
code at http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.17.tar.gz,
gunzip it, run make, make install, and it will install all the bits
and bobs for you in the right place.
