+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+Update 2024-10-11:
+
+A better way to build the TCL extension for SQLite is to use the
+canonical source code tarball.  For Unix:
+
+   ./configure && make tclextension-install
+
+For Windows:
+
+   nmake /f Makefile.msc tclextension-install
+
+This TEA builder is antiquated.  It does not work for TCL9.  The
+SQLite devs don't know how to fix it.  If you would like to help
+fix it, contact us.
