I haven't given breaking out the project much thought. But it's
certainly a possibility:

a) However, there are parts of the codebase (checkin tests) that depend
on marvin.

b) I need to come up with a easier way to update marvin across
cloudstack providers to enable auto-upating marvin's libraries like
cloudmonkey can. For this I've made a couple enhancements to
apidiscovery but it's not in master yet and I don't have it fully
figured out.

Need some time to think through this.
