link with system libsqlite3-dev

[onlyjob]

On Debian it should be possible to link go-sqlite3 with system libsqlite3 library instead of a bundled copy of SQLite3 amalgamation.
Package libsqlite3-dev provides static SQLite3 library and development headers.
Please introduce option to allow use of system library.

Thank you.

This is already possible with:

go build -tags "libsqlite3"

I have written a patch on the Debian repository.

No, it should be interact with build tag. However i could understand what you want. So i'll look into it in later.

[onlyjob]

Thanks.

@onlyjob well, do you expect --tags libsqlite3 should be default?

[onlyjob]

I think it would be a good idea. :) It is always better to use system library, when possible.

[mattn]

No, I think go-sqlite3 should link static library.

[onlyjob]

@mattn, static linking is a security nightmare.
See https://wiki.debian.org/StaticLinking

[mattn]

so I provide way to link shared with --tags libsqlite3.
