Comment:

 Yes, we definitely need an FTS3 variant. I looked into adapting the source
 tarball (rather than the amalgamation) but that would require
 significantly more changes to the Portfile.

 Also, the [http://www.sqlite.org/download.html Download page] states that
 the amalgamation source is the recommended way to get sqlite3 (''This is
 the recommended source distribution for all Unix and unix-like
 platforms.''). However, even more importantly, it states very clearly that
 you should not use the source tree tarball:

   ''The Makefile and configure script in this tarball are not supported''.
 Their use is '''__not__ recommented'''. The SQLite developers do not use
 them. You should not use them either. If you want a configure script and
 an automated build, use either the amalgamation tarball or TEA tarball
 instead of this one. To build from this tarball, hand-edit one of the
 template Makefiles in the root directory of the tarball and build using
 your own customized Makefile.

 Given that paragraph, I strongly recommend using the amalgamation tarball
 even if it has the possibility of reducing performance slightly on PPC.
