The confusion (mistake ?) comes from the fact of gambas is only available as a 
standalone source package.

My opinion is that it should be better to split gambas source in "several" 
packages. But it should be problematic as component can only be built inside 
the gambas source tree. Components sould be more "dynamic", be built outside 
od the source tree. Perhaps macro language like #include inside gb (like the 
future #if , ...) and of course versioning in component (future but not only 
in db).

It's only my opinion, it's only for showing my vision of gambas future. You 
can fire me :) (.... hmmm not too much, please)

Amicalement,
