Sterling has a good point that sqlite is something that could really boost
PHP.  Currently, the only way to ensure that it is a standard feature is to
enable it by default.  Sad but true.

My main misgiving with it being enabled by default is that it will make it
harder for me to publish releases of the extension between releases of PHP.

For the reasons that Sterling has suggested, I'd like to see the sqlite
recommended as a default (but don't mind if it isn't).

I'd also like it to be upgradable via the pear mechanism.  Currently this
would mean building it as a shared extension by default.  This last point is
something that should be considered for the other core extensions (except
ext/standard) that will eventually be pickled.  (I know Derick has some
negative views on building things shared by default; I'll let him speak of
those when he finds the time).

I'd like to point out that I didn't start this thread...
