sqlite3 3.7.9 is positively ancient.  even debian oldstable has 3.7.13.

why should we support such an old version of this library?  I'd imagine
there are sqlite3 security problems that have been fixed since the
release of 3.7.9 (though i haven't dug in that project's archives to
verify).

I'd rather not add compatibility cruft just to support people who
are still running a broken library and really should upgrade.
