I referred to the spatialite 2.1 manual still first in Google search.

I guess its not fully supported by the stable Qgis 1.8.0.
In DB Manager, I have an entry Spatial Index, but get an error
"no such module: VirtualSpatialIndex". Qspatialite throws an error for 
the same reason, and a message "No spatial index defined".

I read that spatialitegui might solve the problem, but I want to work 
inside Qgis. So still nothing for "normal" people ;-)

Using Master I get other errors about missing pyspatialite.
