I'm now trying to see how LDAP works (with OpenLDAP), and I would like the XML
representation to include LDAP queries too.

That's what I was thinking of. Yes.

I think Rodrigo agreed with me to name my work library libgda-common (because I

your own lib for all the reports stuff, and then link to mine. So I agree with
you on all this.
