Hi Gregor,

That was quick!

well, it worked perfectly well for me, both the make/install process, and the
2 scripts, gda-ls-log and gda-ls-providers. I can't comment on the code,
since I'm a beginner in Perl, so, unless somebody objects something, go
ahead with the other classes.

one thing that concerns me is that make install copies files always
(AFAIK) to /usr/local. This should be changed, if possible at all, so
that it installs in the same prefix as libgda.

cheers
