 Looks like it's a generic warning so that tcl is isolated from system
 upgrades.
 
 Response from devs on IRC:
 "simply put, you don't control the system sqlite or when it gets
 upgraded or possibly breaking the interfaces you're using."
 
 So TCL could be switched to use --with-system-sqlite.
 
 I'll follow up with a new patch later this week.
