Libgnomedb now is composed of 3 libraries:
* libgnomedb.so (along with libgnomedb_handlers.so 97K stripped) which
contains the "minimum" to have data bound widgets and is about 287K
(stripped) on my box
* libgnomedb-extra.so which has the GnomeDbSelector,
GnomeDbDbmsUpdateViewer, GnomeDbReportEditor and GnomeDbGrayBar
widgets for 88K (stripped)
* libgnomedb-graph.so which contain GnomeCanvas related widgets for
108K stripped.

As there have been many changes since the last release, I'll do
another one ASAP (3.0 seems very close now...)

Cheers,

Vivien
