GnuCOBOL+SQLite on FreeBSD via GixSQL

Hey!

I made a small repo with working GnuCOBOL + GixSQL + SQLite examples:
https://codeberg.org/tarastella/gnucobol-gixsql-sqlite-examples

This came out of a personal project where I wanted SQLite access from
COBOL without writing small C wrapper modules. The repo is
intentionally tiny: one SELECT example, one INSERT example, a small
schema, and notes about the bits that were hard to find.

I also included FreeBSD build notes and a small patch, because GixSQL
did not build out of the box for me.

Not a full tutorial, just a practical trace in case it is useful to
someone else.

Cheers,
Tara
