Add libgda2 at 1.3.2, and chase libgda.
Note the following two thingers though: 1) I removed a MySQL provider patch because I think it's been obsoleted, but I don't know enough C to tell for sure. Somebody else should verify this. 2) libgnomedb won't build because it sucks. Somebody else is going to have to help me resolve the missing symbols. git-svn-id: svn://creme-brulee.marcuscom.com/ports/trunk@4023 df743ca5-7f9a-e211-a948-0013205c9059

+GNU Data Access (GDA) is an attempt to provide uniform access to
+different kinds of data sources (databases, information servers,
+mail spools, etc).
+
+It is a complete architecture that provides all you need to access
+your data, defined by a set of CORBA interfaces as generic as possible
+(but very powerful at the same time) so that any kind of data source
+can be accessed through them.
+
+libgda is an interface to the GDA architecture, providing a nice
+wrapper around the CORBA interfaces, for both the client and the server
+parts. It also provides a bunch of tools to help you both in the
+development and management of your data sources, all done through
+the GDA model's set of CORBA interfaces.
+
+libgda was part of the GNOME-DB project, but has been separated from it
+to allow non-GNOME applications to be developed based on it.
