The problem is that this package organization prevents the Gambas packager to 
work.

Imagine that there are an expat component, a libxml component, a ODBTP 
component, an ODBC component, a OpenGL component, etc. A simple 'Hello-world' 
program will require the installation of thousands libraries.

This is a stupid thing, how can I change that ? How can I explain them that 
these packages are broken ? How can I impose my package organization ?
