While investigating a similar issue on NetBSD, I discovered the libadabas*
file was hardcoded to be installed or not depending on the target platform
name.

This file is the Adabas D client library; a crippled version of the Adabas D
database was bundled with old versions of StarOffice (2000-2003 timeframe).

Back in June, I found out there was no evidence of this database engine
beeing used after 2004, so I disabled the installation of the library for
all platforms.

If no user is discovered then, all Adabas D code will certainly be removed from
the trunk after the first release of LibreOffice 3.5.

I wouldn't think too much about it for now; the idea is to keep the client
code in-tree (but disabled) so that if someone who needs it discovers it
isn't there anymore with 3.5, it can be reactivated quickly.
