Re: GMAE build for libgsf

["Eduardo Lima" <eblima gmail com>]

After thinking about the subject a little bit more, to drop bonobo
support from libgsf would be too radical. So I coded a small patch to
make the support optional and attached it to bug #442205
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442205).

In my opinion it's the less intrusive solution.

Best Regards, Etrunko.
