Hehe, well it is a major bug for me because it consistantly does not
load my project though it does load Anjuta2 and gnome_build most of the
time.  I've tracked down the problem to the "spawn_script" function in
/gnome-build/src/backends/libgbf_am/gbf-am-project.c file.  It seems
like it is not getting the output correctly from the script
(data->output.length==0).  I can run gbf-am-parse -d --get
/home/quinticent/Projects/project1 on the command line and it returns
XML output that looks correct.  I'm going to keep hacking at it but I
don't know how much futher I can get.  Perhaps this will help someone
who is more familiar with the script spawning code and piped input.
