About that, I just contacted Audrey T and Matt S about updating their flavors of 
DBD::SQLite to include 3.6.8.  Audrey's ::Amalgamation is up to 3.6.1 at least.

I even offered to co-maintain if necessary, though I have little C experience 
right now and any update I hack together for CPAN can't be considered more than 
experimental quality.  Anyone else here with the C-fu want to step up and help 
if necessary?

Note that I was also thinking about the fact that 1.14 is known in some circles 
to have introduced bugs that 1.13 didn't have, so being able to address this 
would take more C-fu than simply updating the SQLite source files.
