What about the gtk(+) and kdebase(qt) libs ?

Just a idea,

use ./configure -C --prefix=/opt/gambas for 1.0.19
and
use ./configure -C --prefix=/opt/gambas2 for 1.9.90

Just do not forget the gambas directories to set free for users instead root :)

This way the people can clearly see what is involved by gambas.
All the other stuff as mysql, sqlite etc as standard in debian done.

Side point of using /opt/gambas is the development of trial programs
can be done also in the /opt/gambas tree and by a final install
the user can find the trial project(s) for copy at a more logic place.

After all it is a optional package in real life as what /opt is for.

Anyway your idea to do this is great :)

PS 
Quanta does kde/qt basic parts already ?
Can just a simple small gnome app (mousepad or gedit) do the same for gtk basic stuff?
