        Dude ! tell me about it :-) I do appreciate that namespacing is
neccessary - and it would be _Really_ good (DV ?) if we could kill the
libxml abomination of having tree.h, parser.h etc. in the global include
namespace;

        Daniel; now we're committing to Gnome 2.0 - and given that there
are header changes neccessary to move anyway - can we remove the
sub-include in the pkg-config file ? that would make me super happy.

        Clearly - that's the point; we just needlessly double-namespace,
and some namespaces are long 'libgnomeprintui' etc. I'd like to get rid of
that where possible, even if it means having 2 libgnomeui.h's.

        Regards,

                Michael.
