Understood (neither am I). You have a long road ahead. I work with
someone that is 99% there, so if you run into trouble ask me about
that.

Right, all on one line! But now you have a very good idea -- a tool to
help integrate across independent libraries. Sunterlib does something
like this for itself at Make time, but why not a tool that does this
across separately distributed libraries?
