I would like to see a packaged called "gambas-devel" that works 
like the "perl-devel" package too, but I don't think Benoit is 
into the idea.  Therefore I suggest the creation of a 
"gambas-source" package like the "kernel-source" package, which 
you can BuildRequires: in RPM creation or do the equivalent in 
apt, meaning you wouldn't have to include the whole Gambas 
source in your component's source package.  There is definitely 
going to be a need for components that are distributed separate 
from Gambas... already people have talked about building 
components to talk to this or that obscure piece of hardware, 
and we are going to want to have those available to everyone but 
not have to ship every component everyone ever makes with the 
core Gambas tarball.

I will make a gambas-source package for Mandrake when I get 1.0 
packages going.
