+SpatiaLite is an open source library intended to extend the SQLite core
+to support fully fledged Spatial SQL capabilities. SpatiaLite is smoothly
+integrated into SQLite to provide a complete and powerful Spatial DBMS
+(mostly OGC-SFS compliant). Using SQLite + SpatiaLite you can effectively
+deploy an alternative open source Spatial DBMS roughly equivalent to
+PostgreSQL + PostGIS.
+
+liblwgeom (postgis) is optional but strongly recommended dependency. To build
+spatialite with liblwgeom support set LWGEOM=yes.
