I added a dir_config to the extconf.rb file to install.

"D:/SQLite" <your path here> contains two sub-directories (include & lib)
which mkmf.rb uses to create the Makefile.  Without this, sqlite.h and
sqlite.lib are sought in the <?>standard search path</?>.

#-----------------------
require 'mkmf'

dir_config("sqlite", "D:/SQLite")  # <--- ADDED line

have_library( "sqlite" )
if have_header( "sqlite.h" ) and have_library( "sqlite", "sqlite_open" )
  create_makefile( "_sqlite" )
end
#-----------------------

dir_config allows command line parameters of (e.g.) ...
   --with-sqlite-lib=usr/local/env/dev/nul/blah
(That's one Windows user's idea of a non-Windows pathname)
