Using a few gross hacks, yes. Granted, I am looking at an older version,
but you link in .o files directly, and refer directly to one specific
client, not linking against libcivclient.a.

Some rather extensive changes are needed in client/Makefile.am and
configure code to pass the right libs to manual/Makefile.am to do this
correctly. Also lots of stubs must be written for stuff that these files
except to exist in the GUI code.

Unless you are seeing something that I am not.
