Re: Gorm source reorganization

[Gregory John Casamento]

Guys,

I will make everything libraries for now, until frameworks are functioning.   I
have one of the libraries set up as a frameowork, but I'm using some "ifeq"
statements to build it as a library on windows.  I *could* continue to do this,
but that doesn't seem really nice. ;)   

The build dependencies have been cleaned up and everything builds in one pass
on Windows now (none of Nicola's changes in the makefiles from before are
present).  I will probably convert the framework I spoke of earlier back to a
library tonight and remove the ifeq stuff I added from the makefiles.

Please let me know what you think about the new layout.

It would be cool to support them on Windows, even if it is a hack, there are a
number of programs which use them (for example ProjectCenter).  Also some of
the Backbone stuff and a few other apps I can think of.
