I believe you can also merge
sql-transaction/libgda_sql_transaction-3.0.la and
graph/libgda_graph-3.0.la as they both require the main libgda lib or
are useless when taken out of its context.

However, I'd leave sql-delimiter/libgda_sql_delimiter-3.0.la as it
does not require the main libgda lib and it might be usefull to use it
without using libgda itself (even though there is no .pc for that lib
only, but it could be added if required).

So to summarize, There should only be two libs left in libgda/:
libgda-3.0.la and libgda_sql_delimiter-3.0.la. If it's OK for
everyone, then please merge them too.

Thanks,
