People that want to use sqlite can download the source,
they can even use the pear command to do this either by:

  a) pear install sqlite (to create the .so)
       extension=sqlite.so
  b) pear bundle sqlite  (to download the source)
       ./configure --with-sqlite

Forcing the entire world to have all this source that
many will not even use doesn't seem right.  Also, just
think about those people who actually pay for bandwidth
per minute off their modems.  But, that's not the point.
Nobody should feel obligated to bundle a database,
no matter how cool it might be.  I'd also like to see an 
option to do this: pear bundle gd, to download the gd 
fork, but I digress.  This is a wonderful time to promote 
PEAR and the PECL situation rather than force featured 
bundles on people, like sqlite.

Please reconsider this move and allow people the choice
of providing extensions themselves.  If it's decided to 
include it, please offer a download option that doesn't 
include this/these featured extensions.

Regards,
Philip
