OK, that would be a good simplification. IIRC there really is only 1 
place where we use sqlite directly.
Probably better to wait till next week though, after the 2.0.2 update.

Don't think we need to include that. Using DBD-SQLite should give us 
anything we need.

OK.

Yes, let's wait with those for next release (2.0.3 or 2.1.0).
