Understood.  Likewise, because I am not full-time on Cygwin SQLite, it's 
taken similar amounts of time from me, which is why I'm ignoring your 
xidepend complaints right now. :)

That's definitely a possibility.  I'll be posting my thoughts on that in 
another part of the thread.

I hope that even if this doesn't end up helping SQLite, though, that the 
code is still useful enough to stay in the DLL.  I can't be the only one 
who has ever had such interop problems.

Okay.  -2 packages are built now.  Announcement elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to explain.
