Well that's news to me.  And great news if it is true.  It also must have been a 
recent development (I'll look into it) as I didn't see any CPAN releases or 
announcements.

I first made the proposal around January 12th of this year, quickly following my 
spreading the news that SQLite 3.6.8 came out with support for nested 
transactions, and getting responses that DBD::SQLite had all sorts of unresolved 
bugs and whatever, and seeing for myself it was long since updated.  Also Audrey 
Tang had released SQLite 3.6.1/2 a year ago in amalgamation form, but now 
neither Audrey nor Matt were doing anything, and I saw no evidence that anyone 
else was too.  So I offered to do it.

This is also one of the advantages of using the SQLite amalgamation version that 
sqlite.org provides and Audrey experimentally released.  The complicated 
pre-compilation work is done in advance and so less capable build environments 
like Windows can then build SQLite without having a pricey tool.  Don't know if 
Adam's version is the amalgamation but I'll look.

Anyway, to repeat a prior reply, I've decided not to unbundle the library.
