This sounds good to me. Is there a way you can make this into a patch
or two? That will make it easier for me to get it into alioth.
I think the release goals for -10 should be as follows:
* This change for faster development
* Separate build tree(s) as you implemented before in a patch
* Split the package as described above (plus salome-dev)
* Bug fixes already in alioth
Sounds good? Any others? I think this is doable by the end of next
week.
