[Qgis-developer] GGL2 - QGIS integration

[Etienne Tourigny]

In case of linux systems, I would think that most (if not all)
installations include java, so it's not that much of a requirement.
It might be more complicated in the case of windows and mac.

It would be interesting to have a separate qgis-framework package (or
similar name) that includes sextante and its dependencies and modules
like GGL.
That way you can install qgis without these requirements.
