If you want to, i can send you a tarball with my source-package files.
Then you can have a look at it.

Even the -dev packages can be installed together, i only have to fugure
out how to deliver gdome-1.0.pc only when the glib2 build is used and
how to deliver gdome-config if the glib1.2 build is used.

The only thing i would keep to both versions is the docs, as they should
remain the same not depending on what glib gdome2 is built on.
