I tried them and they are OK. :-)

It goes without saying that I have no objections.

Thanks for sharing this.

I really appreciate what you're doing and I won't complain about any

I'm in the same shoes currently, trying to get together a new Cygwin
install at our company. Currently I can't take over anything, but I'm
sitting on 225 CPAN distribution packages. If maybe I should end up
maintaining some or all of them, adding sqlite3 to that stack would be
possible. I'll keep it in mind...

Achim.
