It will take me a while to get a beets instance running to test it
myself. But I encourage people to try this out.

But without trying it, I think that an Emacs compiled without sqlite may
end up compiling that code with warnings about non-existent functions.

We could get around that with a bunch of declarations such as:

    (declare-function sqlite-execute "sqlite.c")

Kludgy, but it works.
