On 64 bit 3.4.0b2, the output is ('THREADSAFE=1',)

If one clones the hg.python.org/cpython repository and runs 
Tools/buildbots/external.bat with minimal svn installed, it copies 
sqlite3 source into sqlite-3.8.1 with files
shell.c
sqlite3.c  # 5 mb
sqlite3.h
sqlite3ext.h

If that is everything needed for FTS and if pcbuild/ _sqlite3 and 
sqlite3 project files were altered to change the compile option and 
anything else needed ... then you would have FTS on Windows.
