I'd go even further by titling it and addressing it very obviously to anyone looking for a DLL to download. Looking for a DLL is a natural thing for a Windows developer to do. That's what you do for libraries: find an existing DLL that the authors provided. SQLite is extremely unusual in that it was designed from the ground up to be suited for compiling the source code into your own project. (In case it's not clear from the above, I really like the way SQLite does that, and I'd be happiest if in fact there was /no/ precompiled DLL available on the SQLite site. I think a lot of the posts to this list are caused by DLL-related problems which would never happen if there were clear instructions instead for compiling the amalgamation into the most popular versions of the 'Studio' IDE.)
