yes, this is why I ask now: do we really need GOB for the XML query stuff?

it's not that I don't want to have it, but I've got the same concern as
Vivien: if we use everything, then there will be a time where it could
become quite difficult to manage it, and very very difficult for users
to compile it, due to the tens of libs/programs needed.
