 Building the sqlite3 egg on OS X (10.11.6) produces a warning and an error
 -- see below for full trace.

 Specifically:
 {{{
 'sqlite3_enable_shared_cache' has been explicitly marked deprecated here
 }}}
 The SQLite docs note https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/enable_shared_cache.html
 that ‘This method is disabled on MacOS X 10.7 and iOS version 5.0 and will
 always return SQLITE_MISUSE’

 Also, the function sqlite3_enable_load_extension appears not to be
 available on OS X.  The SQLite docs
 https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/enable_load_extension.html seem to recommend
 a different route to disabling this, on security grounds, but I confess I
 don't understand the implications of that.  This function is still
 mentioned in the system sqlite3.h header, but it appears to be absent from
 (been deliberately removed from?) the system sqlite3 library.

 There appear to be alternative documented routes to both of the intended
 functionalities, so I've tentatively marked this as 'easy' difficulty.

 Building with:
 {{{
 chicken-install -n -D disable-shared-cache,disable-load-extension
 }}}
 appears to work OK, though I haven't tested fully.
