This is the reason why the "main" package must be compiled last, and after 
every other components are compiles AND installed. The compiler just need the 
*.info and *.list files generated by the components to compile projects using 
these components.

As for component dependencies, they will be enhanced in a next release, so 
that you can use expression like (gb.qt || gb.gtk)
