Apologies for the tardy reply, but my first reaction is that by going 
the Xcode route you have a load of GUI support compiled or linked in.

I try to keep reasonably up to date with sqlite3 and use the make files 
included with sqlite3.  It's a pretty painless process - I first did it 
before there was official support for OS X and even as a then novice 
with make I didn't have any problems.  FWIW my PPC version of sqlite3 is 
only 45200 bytes.
