[GRASS5] SQLite support

Hello, I was running Grass 6.0.1 and wanted to use the SQLite connectivity. There was no option in any of the db tools, so I assumed it wasn't included when I compiled Grass. Since 6.0.2 is now out, I figured I'd compile the new version instead of recompiling the old.

I don't see any options for sqlite in the configure file, or in any other file in the root Grass source directory. Wassup? Can anyone explain to me why I don't see SQLite support? Will I have it when I've done the compile? Has it been removed?

TIA, Michael

SQLite support is only present in the CVS trunk version, not in the
6.0.x release branch. The 6.0.x releases don't contain significant
additional functionality relative to 6.0.0, only bug fixes and minor
enhancements.

OK, that explains it. I started using GRASS to recently to know what was in 6.0.0. I'm seriously considering switching to CVS next week so that I can take advantage of the new manager GUI.
