Nice thanks

I'm going home now so I didn't look at it, also it's on my TODO
change autotools to cmake, not sure Richard will approve (tough we already
discuss this). The main problem is that I can't maintain autotools, the file
imo is a big mess, to have an idea of the problem there has been more
than a year that packagekit-qt links against libapt-pkg which shouldn't
happen. Also packagekit-qt needs it's own so number so that when
I break ABI packagekit-glib doesn't need to change.

If you can give me a hand would be appreciated :D
Thanks.
