do you know about AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS?
With this macro, the outer configure runs the inner configure
automatically. Is that what you want?
I hope the description in the manual is sufficient.

Ralf, what are you speaking about? You introduced AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS,
or eliminated it?

I agree with Ralf here, that if you plan to release both of the packages
independently, it's best to write a README which says that libgdbi has
to be installed first.
If you combine the packages, you might run into problems when youtry
to link CGDB against the not-yet-installed libgdbi? Maybe it's just
my prejudice, but I'd feel safer if I had it as two packages.
