We are told that metro style applications may not use many of the win32
APIs that SQLite currently does use (APIs such as LoadLibrary(),
SetFilePointer(), GetFileSize(), etc.)  We are currently working on a new
version of SQLite that avoids the missing interfaces.  You can follow our
progress in this branch:

    http://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?r=winrt

Note that, as far as we can tell, there is no way to configure SQLite such
that it will work for both desktop applications (windows 7, vista, winXP,
winNT, win95) and metro style applications (winRT) at the same time.  You
have to choose one or the other at compile-time.  Currently the default is
for desktop applications and so if you want to run on winRT you have to add
the -DSQLITE_OS_WINRT=1 option to your compiler.  We'll remove that
requirement if and when we can figure out a way to make the platform
determination at run-time.
