I've just started playing with SQLite on MacOS, Linux and OpenBSD,
with the intent of compiling on Windows too.

Using C, I think I'm getting the hang of it. Things compile fine, and
seem to work.

I've just tried using sqlite3.h (from the 3.6.23.1 amalgamation) with
C++ and find that it contains stuff which won't compile on C++ (I'm
currently using Apple's g++ 4.0.1).

My understanding is that declarations like

   typedef struct sqlite3 sqlite3;

are improper in C++, because the struct declaration already makes
sqlite3 a typedef. The error message says

  error: forward declaration of ‘struct sqlite3’

Unfortunately, there are a bunch of these. Perhaps making the typedef
name different from the struct tag is sufficient to resolve the
problem, although I'm guessing the compiler thinks it needs to know
not only that sqlite3 is a name for a type, but also what the contents
of the struct are.

Is there a working (with C++) sqlite3.h equivalent available
somewhere, or do I need to hack on it?

Of course, I may have missed something obvious...
