It's fine to test-compile only for PHP5.

Well, yes, but making it work/compile on both php4 and php5 is ~trivial - just
remove the PHP_VERSION_REQD :)

Generally, using the PECL version is preferable and simpler, at
least from pkgsrc maintenance point of view - you deal with only one
version for both PHP environments. Since the majority
of PHP world continues to use PHP4, the PECL package is going to
be better tested then the PHP5-bundled version anyway :)

I'd keep the php-sqlite name, since goal should be to have single pkg
for both php4 and php5. php5-sqlite can be removed later eventually,
php5-extensions might continue to use the (bundled) sqlite driver
meanwhile.
