The question is to know if the libslab on GNOME cvs is the place where
libslab upstream work or if that's the GNOME version of slab. If
upstream and GNOME don't have the same requirements we might need to
have a new place for a libslab where we can make changes required for
GNOME

A build time option should be fine for that
