urgh... To be honest I'd rather avoid that. Using the linked sources
from 15.0 for building is much cleaner from my perspective. Especially
when it runs afterwards without any issue, even with 42.3's version
of sqlite3 installed; and all files in the .kodi/userdata/Database/
sub-directory continue to work ;)

That's great, thx!

IIRC, I tried that several times, but it didn't work due to some strange
cmake configure run, which is quite different from the normal autoconf
configure way. I gave up in the end. Again, to be honest, as this issue
only affected one addon, I'd rather just disable it.
