Proper runtime checks are in place for SQLite and Botan since revision
7aa69891001cc53af518ca9bff8e1c7dae0c280d.

SQLite seems to maintain a backwards compatible API for all versions
3.x.x. Compiling against 3.3.8 and running with 3.5.9 worked just fine
for all unit test.

Botan has a stable branch 1.6.x and a development one being 1.7.x.
Supporting the moving target 1.7.x branch is a bit of a hassle, but OTOH
we well be up and running right away when 1.8.x alias next stable branch
comes out.
