[BDB 11gR2 Beta] Using FTS2 with the BDB SQLite compatibility library code

[Sandra Whitman]

Hi Liam,

Can you send us the patches/source code changes made for the Chromium 
web browser, along with any particular directions for installing them?  
I think we need to apply these as a starting point.

Thanks,
Sandra
