Research direction
Start by tracing the existing libffiIncludeDir/libffiOutDir and opensslIncludeDir/opensslOutDir handling in the Windows build configuration. Add equivalent sqlite3IncludeDir and sqlite3OutDir support so a pre-built sqlite3 can be used on Windows, then verify the CPython 3.12 Windows build path.
