Ahh, so what you mean is that we'd have a "libgncgda" and then we'd
implement a "libgncmod-backend-sqlite" and "libgncmod-backend-mysql"
and "libgncmod-backend-pg" which all link against libgncgda? Or
perhaps libgncgda would have multiple QOF backends, one for each of
SQLite, MySQL, and PG? *ponders*
So long as we can still have most of the code be shared, I suppose
that works..
