Cool. Thanks Paul indeed.

A wild thought about this. Should we do continuous integration
builds/runs on a wider collection of linux distributions ? Currently
we do only ubuntu and fedora, perhaps it would make sense to add VMs
for some other distributions ? We had a mime-related issue on
archlinux a couple of weeks back due to some version of python, and
now this sqlite thing. Better be noticed too soon than too late, no ?

gentoo / archlinux / debian / suse / ... ?

(not that it's a terribly exciting job to set this up).
