If the Windows Python installation comes with more-or-less third party 
sqlite3.dll, then Cygwin Python coming with a third party cygsqlite3-
0.dll (from Cygwin Ports) would be fine - at least with me...

Anyway: no one ever noticed the lack of SQLite for quite some time and 
the other ones probably found workarounds...
