>Description:
databases/R-RSQLite has a copy of the SQLite 3.22.0 amalgamation files embedded into the project and it doesn't use sqlite3/buildlink.mk

This makes it difficult for the pkgsrc-security team to know when the package is impacted by a known-vulnerability in SQLite.

>How-To-Repeat:
After installing the package. SQLite is not installed along with it, and nm shows that the SQLite symbols are in the .so file of the R module.
>Fix:
Fedora seems to pass some arguments to `R CMD INSTALL` to prevent using the amalgamation files but I wasn't able to find any evidence of that occurring in pkgsrc.
