Did you look at http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ConverterTools ?

I'd try one of these if I need it. Otherwise it seems easier for me to 
parse XML than to try out all the options of mysqladmin, which probably 
still won't produce anything that can directly be fed to sqlite3.

It would be a nice programming exercise. Hint: You can pretty safely 
ignore all type information you get from MySQL, because types in SQLite 
depend on the inserted values, and not the table definition.
