I thought this was fixed 2 months ago:

Cygwin's Python currently links to SQLite statically, but from that 
thread, this doesn't seem to be a problem.

If it turns out that you really do need a dynamic library to make 
pysqlite happy, that's probably something the Cygwin Python maintainer, 
Jason Tishler, needs to take care of.  My SQLite packages for Cygwin 
include both static and dynamic libraries, it's just that Cygwin's 
Python doesn't know how to build against the dynamic ones yet.

It'd be best if Python and SQLite can remain separate, with Python 
modules building against the standard SQLite package files.  I'd hate to 
see a separate distribution of SQLite included with Python.  There's not 
enough maintainer bandwidth to go around even without wasting it on 
duplicate packaging like that.

I'll see about enabling that in the next build of the SQLite packages. 
It might not be possible, as it might use dlopen(), rather than 
LoadLibrary().
