That's great to hear :-)

That also sounds optimistic.

Well, if the 2.0 makes it easier, let's hope there will be some souls 
eager to do/maintain the Mac OS & Win32 ports.

afaic, I'll be satisfied to try to provide a Haskell bindings and with 
Win32 & Mac OS ports, this will just make for (hopefully) wider usage of 
libgda/libgnome libs.

Thank you very much for your efforts in providing gnome-db project.

ot: I emerged mergeant-0.62 on my amd64 Gentoo box, but it's pretty 
unstable and I get constant crashes. Tried to ask on irc but got no 
response, and the problem is that I cannot emerge it with 'debug' flag 
and I believe that non-debug bt is not so useful?

Sincerely,
Gour
