The SQLite3 Class is not available in Local WP websites.

Compiling and installing it is very complicated and totally unnecessary. The steps on [this tutorial](http://community.localwp.com/t/how-do-i-compile-additional-php-extensions/2272) can’t even be strictly followed in the specific case of SQLite3, because it’s not available as a PECL extension anymore, it’s now **bundled** to most recent PHP versions. You are intentionally disabling a native feature of PHP. What’s the benefits of doing so?
