danielk1977 4adee20fcb Change lots of internal symbols from sqliteXXX to sqlite3XXX so that the
library links again. It doesn't work yet, due to changes in the btree layer
calling convention. (CVS 1324)

** Why not just use a library random generator like lrand48() for this?
** Because the OP_NewRecno opcode in the VDBE depends on having a very
** good source of random numbers. The lrand48() library function may
** well be good enough. But maybe not. Or maybe lrand48() has some
** subtle problems on some systems that could cause problems. It is hard

** implementations, SQLite uses this random number generator based
