There are two possible ways of handling this:

      1. Create an external file that binds the GOAD ID with this
         shared library you want:

	 <thingie goadid="gda-odbc" config="libgda-odbc-config.so">

      2. A hack.

	 Create a non-existant GOADID to represent the shared library:

[gda-odbc]
type=exe
repo_id=IDL:GDA/ConnectionFactory:1.0
description=Gnome Datasource Access for ODBC
location_info=gda-odbc-srv

[gda-odbc:config]
description=Configuration shared library for gda-odbc
location=libgda-odbc-config.so
repo_id=none
type=shlib

          Note that this entry is not supposed to be loaded with
          Gnorba, you will just use the information from the gnorba
          routines to find out what shared library you are interested
          in loading.

Also, keep in mind that you want the *base* shared library name, as
the actual full name of the shlib is operating system dependant, so
you want to store something like: "gda-odb-config", and have the
g_module code return you "libgda-odbc-config.so"
