* the ldap and odbc backends are being rewritten and weren't
enabled in this release. although they will be in the future again, so
don't remove the subpackages just yet
discussed with aja@
GNOME Data Access (GDA) is an attempt to provide uniform access to
different kinds of data sources (databases, information servers, mail
spools, etc). It is a complete architecture that provides all you need
to access your data. It is defined by a set of CORBA interfaces as
generic as possible (but very powerful at the same time) so that any
kind of data source can be accessed through them.
most work done by ajacoutot@, based on an initial port by me.
