gc no longer in oo2c distrib?

[Michael van Acken <KK120y2@mail.lvr.de>]

Someone wants to package o2oc for Debian 2.0, and he suggested
to remove gc from the oo2c tarball for better packaging.  

Because this is a Good Idea(TM), I would like to change the distrib
like this:

1) Remove the gc subdirectory.
2) Extend configure to look for a pre-installed libgc.
3) If configure does not find libgc, check if a subdirectory gc
   exists, and use it instead.
4) If both 2 and 3 fail, build oo2c without compiler support.

That is, if there is no gc pre-installed, the user has to get
his own copy of gc (presumably from Boehm's site), and unpack
it into the oo2c directory before running configure.

Can the mailing list live with this changes?
