almost clear ;-), let's see if I have understood it right:

you mean that any of these components, as gb.form don't take into account if
they were compiled with gb.qt or gb.gtk. So even if it has been compiled
with qt, it will load without any problem in a qt-free pc, or viceversa with
gtk. is it right?

In that case, when building the packages for these compoentes, the
dependencies will be gb.qt | gb.gtk , and I don't care how they were
compiled.

If that's the way it works, I only can say one word:
Chapeau!
