Moving packages from/to BLFS to/from LFS

I just finished moving pcre2 from BLFS to LFS needed by grep and less.

By my count we now have 98 packages in LFS.  The process has made me think that 
perhaps we should have a few more that are used very frequently in BLFS.  Here is a 
list for discussion:

sqlite: see https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/5784
   We probably want to add libarchive to get unzip for the sqlite documentation.
   There are 38 references to libarchive in BLFS.
   We also may want to consider just archiving the separate zip and unzip packages
   in BLFS.  Are they useful?

libxml2: It's not strictly necessary for LFS, but there are 64 references
   to it in BLFS.

intltool:  This is already in LFS with a proposal to move it to BLFS along
   with it's dependency of XML::Parser.  They are not strictly needed in LFS
   but Arch shows 234 packages that need it.
   https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/intltool/
   I have not counted the number of BLFS packages in that list, but from my
   standpoint the minimal size and build times don't lead to a compelling
   case to move them.
   See https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/4964

There may be other candidates for moving, so let's discuss.
