libsql
------
The contents of this directory contain the libsql SQL statement parser.
This has been copied, without modification, from the
gnomedb/libgda/libsql subdirectory on April 7th, 2004.
(See http://www.gnome-db.org/)
None of the files indicate the provenance of this code, or the
applicable license; and the gnomedb folks don't seem to provide
any clarifying remarks; however, gnomedb itself is under the GPL
license and parts of it are under the less restrictive LGPL license.
I think I've seen this SQL parsing code before, I think its in the
public domain. I think its two or three decades old. Certainly,
the pre-world-wide-web (pre-1994) alt.sources newsgroup contained
a parser very similar to this; so did some late 1980's ftp sites.
I copied this code here because I did not want to make QOF dependent
on the install of libgda or libsql. If/when libsql is widely
available and readily installed, then maybe we can remove this code.
In the meanwhile, this copy will stop "dependency hell".

LibGDA conditional build support was added in August 2005 - this
directory is no longer built if libgda >= 1.2.0 is found on the
build system.
