It should be easier with the libgda-server, but if you say that the db2
is more or less like ODBC, as soon as we migrate the ODBC provider, it
should be easy to do the same with the the DB2 one.

This is a widget provided by the unixODBC project which implemented the
typical ODBC driver manager as found on Windows. It's used for the
config component part (which is a Bonobo component which just has the
ODBC driver manager inserted on it), so for the moment forget about it.
This is the gda-odbc-config* files.

There is some documentation and links about autoconf/automake in
developer.gnome.org, if this is what you mean
