Thats the plan. GNOME/ORBit doesnt know about it right now though.

If it is to work in both gnome and the console, we wont be able to use
goad. we can just use coal, wich will work in both gnome and the console.

What dependencies other then gnome and goad does it currently have?

Well, what would it take to do a custom corba client lib, and then, on top
of that, build gnome-db. That way, it will reduce the amount of repeated
code and will allow both console and gui apps to be created.
