not too much! In fact, this is what we decided last week so that the
guys in the GNU Enterprise project could use gnome-db libraries without
depending on GNOME. We'll make for the next release two more packages:

* libgda
* libgda-devel

but this will only include the basic libraries, so we could also add
another package (gnome-db-core or gnome-db-libs) which include the other
libraries (client UI and bonobo).
