gnome-db 1.2 needs also a bit of time. Although, there is no need to
wait for 1.2, we could have GNOME Office use still 1.0.x, if needed.
Although if we are going to wait for abi 2.2, that's great, since we'll
have time then for releasing 1.2.

libgda and libgnomedb would need a bit of work to make them run on
windows. Everything compiles, so the work shouldn't be too hard.
