ext/pdo_sqlite and ext/sqlite3 use the same underlying lib so its just

I know, I know.
But why enable it by default (as well as PDO_SQLITE)? What's so
extremely useful in this extension that every user needs it?
The zero configuration aspect, the ability to just throw up a database
in place of your own over complicated storage format. Sure all hosts
have MySQL but if you're shipping a product then sometimes its simpler
to just bundle a SQLite DB.
Clientside apps are also moving forward with SQLite, Firefox 3.0, Google
Gears, Adobe AIR and just about every Apple product. I've been writing
PHP scripts to start using the data.
I'm happy to disable PDO by default and have you force it on like mysql
or any of the others.
If you have ideas on testing without enabling them or bundling in the
build please do share. It's a chicken and egg situtation imho.
Testing doesn't require enabling it by default.
In fact, it doesn't even require putting the extension in the core,
though this surely increases the the amount of feedback.
Developers should test their extensions, not users.
Yep, we're already using it here in several applications and I have a
few side projects using it.
Test coverage was good, about 80%. I'll be doing more before alpha 2.
