16 That doesn't seem to be clean enough for me. I need the libgpm,
17 and only libgpm, built, and then gpm server built against this
18 (already installed) libgpm, found via pkg-config. I've got very
19 strict policies at this point.
20
21 My further plan in short words:
22
23 + further tests on libgpm
24 + split off the gpm server and rewrite to build against an already
25 installed libgpm (found via pkg-config)
26 + put both into some cumulative package, which can be build
27 just as the current gpm package.
28
29 Meanwhile we also should try to get in the pkg-config stuff,
30 and let several parts to be switched off as you suggested,
31 optionally build the server against an installed libgpm, etc.
