   I need to disable that by default.  Build with --disable-gda.

   I tried to building the gda-dev2 branch  on windows and got this error:
       checking for LIBGDA... configure: error: Package requirements
   (libgda-4.0 >= 3.99.2) were not met:
       No package 'libgda-4.0' found
   I went to the libgda web site but didn't see a download for
   libgda-4.0.  does the gda branch require libgda-4.0?  Or is there
   something I need to adjust?
   Let me know and I'll try it again.  Thanks.
   Karim
