Slightly off-topic here (I fully agree with dropping support for sqlite
from base), this description makes it sound as if the proper thing (for
NetBSD) to do is to create a private static lib for sqlite and just link
it into any executable in the base tree that needs it - but never
export it as a shared library (nor make it available in /usr/lib/ in the
installed system).
