Comment (by kencu):

 As a remnder, Yan12125 has shown the way to fairly easily bundle in `xz`,
 `curl`, and `libressl` to macports-base. I imagine it might not be a huge
 stretch to bundle in `sqlite3`, depending on what other deps `sqlite3`
 needs, as Ryan suggests.

 That way MacPorts-base could stay relatively unimpeded by spaghetti code,
 and all the older systems could get up to date versions of the MacPorts
 underpinnings.
