That's odd, I tried various versions from 352.9-svn31oct2006
to 369.8-svn17feb2007 and the line:

 > (require (planet "sqlite.ss" ("jaymccarthy" "sqlite.plt" 3)))

worked for me.

Wait! You need to download the SQLite dll and put it where
Windows can find it.

Kyle and I suggest either

    c:\Programs\PLT
or
    c:\Windows\system32 .

<http://ja.soegaard.net/planet/html/soegaard/sqlite.plt/current/libsqlite3.dll>

Jay and Noel, why not put "libsqlite3.dll" into sqlite.plt and load
it with

   (define libsqlite
     (case (system-type)
       [(windows)  (ffi-lib (build-path
                             (this-expression-source-directory)
                             "libsqlite3.dll"))] ; version 0-9-8-d
       [else       (ffi-lib "libsqlite3")]))

?

That way people don't have to download the dll-file elsewhere.
And as a bonus, one can be sure that the users have the
right version of the shared library.
