well, what I do is to integrate the libgda directory autoconf/automake
stuff in gnome-db2, that is, when you build gnome-db2, it should also
build libgda. This is possible, since I've seen it in other packages,
but don't know yet how it's done.

well, I've done it this way to make it easier for users downloading from
CVS. But in fact, they are 2 separated projects, with the difference
that libgda is totally independent, whereas gnome-db2 depends on libgda.
