Overview
Comment:Improvements to the SQLITE_CONFIG_PAGECACHE documentation. Enhance the command-line shell to be able to take advantage of the full range of SQLITE_CONFIG_PAGECACHE capabilities, such as setting pMem==NULL and N<0.

First attempt at enhancing the "PRAGMA cache_spill" statement to accept a cache threashold size. (check-in: 549d42be0d user: drh tags: cache_spill=N)

Fix missing word in a documentation comment. No changes to code. (check-in: ed24d30265 user: mistachkin tags: trunk)

Add a hack to debug out a description of the WHERE clause of a SELECT (or other) statement. Use this in script tool/schemalint.tcl to automatically recommend indexes that might speed up specific queries. (check-in: c6fa01c28e user: dan tags: schemalint)
