I see that apsw bundles SQLite 3.9.2.  Does it work when you replace it with the external version 3.9.2 - amalgation or not ?

Getting version 3.9.2 to build turned out to be a bit of a hassle; some nonsense about a fossil(?) generated manifest missing or what not.

I don't necessarily mean permanently - just to find out whether the tests work normally then.

Also, Perhaps diff the bundled SQLite 3.9.2 and the released SQLite 3.9.2 amalgation of the same version ?

A diff between bundled SQLite 3.9.2 and release 3.9.2. amalgation reveals no (functional) differences, so at least there will be no extra set of patches to maintain.

It seems that the actual upstream for apsw at [1] has continued development since we packaged it.

Incidentally, our sqlite package is a bit outdated. If I update sqlite to the latest version (3.20.1), as well as change the python-apsw upstream to [1], the package seems to build and pass the `check' phase with no issues.
