Re: one more lib for SPTK

Well, OK - fine on SPTK (and I guess we have to make --enable-fltk dependant
on --enable-odbc).

I still think we need to separate utilities out, since they are usefull 
by themselves,
and there might be projects that will benefit from utility classes, 
while not
needing database - I guess you don't want them to load extra stuff into 
memory,
if they don't need to? ;-)
