For R there's [the definitive guide][WRE]. Download the sources of whatever
package is providing you SQLite and take it apart. Ask on R-help or R-pkg-dev
if something breaks.
For C# and VB.NET there's [P/Invoke], so, in theory, you could declare all
SQLite functions you are interested in as `[DllImport("sqlite.dll", ...)]`
and supply your own `sqlite.dll`, but that's a lot of manual work that
System.Data.SQLite is supposed to protect you from. I have never used or built
`System.Data.SQLite` myself and I can't offer any assistance regarding that.
Presumably, you could follow [the build procedures][SDSQL], substituting your
own copy of SQLite and/or ask around on .NET programming forums.
