8X----------------------


i.e. the symbol h_exec_query_sqlite was dropped from the library ABI.
This breaks all reverse dependencies built against 1.4.18, e.g. glewlwyd
is now broken:
(sid)ametzler at argenau:/dev/shm/GLEWY$ ldd -r /usr/bin/glewlwyd | tail -n1
undefined symbol: h_exec_query_sqlite   (/usr/bin/glewlwyd)
