Well, I tested it, and the tcl-sqlite-3.7.15.2 package works
fine together with the sqlite-3.8.2 package: All sqlite3
package are binary upwards compatible.

Without patching, the TEA (Tcl Extension Architecture) is
followed, of course I can patch it to whatever structure
is required for Cygwin. Thanks!

My tcl-sqlite3 build works with both Tcl 8.5 and 8.6 without
re-compilation. Of course I could install copies in both
/usr/lib/tcl8.5 and /usr/lib/tcl8.6, if that is desired, but
both copies would just be identical.
