The last time I downloaded SQLite was version 3.3.12. For that version (and many prior versions), I could download a preprocessed archive containing all of the source code, except parse.h, parse.c and opcode.h(? - this is from memory) were the 'generated' versions. The source for the command-line shell was there as well as all other source code. This was close to ideal for me, as I was able to use it in our (custom) build system and build for Windows and Linux with almost no effort at all. Now, I have two choices: 1) Download a tar of everything and have a version of lemon available (which nothing else here uses), as well awk and other tools which don't fit well within our windows-side compiles, or.. 2) Download a preprocessed archive that contains only two files (sqlite3.c and sqlite3.h) losing the ability to easily track changes (or make local patches / fixes if necessary) as well as no longer having the shell code. I'll have to download both archives and piece together my own build.
Hopefully this doesn't come off as too much of a nag, but the way it was before was quite convenient and the new method seems to have taken the 'preprocessed' notion to the extreme. If this is how it's going to be from now on, I'll just have to adjust, but if there wasn't any specific reason for changing, you can count this as a vote for the 'old' way. :) Cheers...
