[issue13445] Enable linking the module pysqlite with Berkeley DB SQL instead of SQLite

[Lauren Foutz]

Lauren Foutz <lauren.foutz at gmail.com> added the comment:

It is not possible to compile pysqlite to link with both, and even if it
was it would not be a good idea, since databases created by bdbsql cannot
be accessed by sqlite, and visa versa.

Because of the incompatibility I think a runtime flag would lead to a lot
of user error, but a separate connection class in the sqlite3 module might
work, but because the libraries share the same external functions, linking
them both with the python library will be difficult if not impossible.
