My "stand-alone" means libSQL can be used from many modules
without duplicated codes. For example, copy routines for raw
parse trees should be in the DLL rather than in postgres.exe.

Then, we need to consider other products than pgpool. Who will
use the dll? If pgpool is the only user, we might not allow to
modify core codes only for one usecase. More research other than
pgpool is required to decide the interface routines for libSQL.
