Currently we are reviewing the complete build process, including all
tools, the way we are using the SCM etc. As a part of this review we
will also have a look on how we can bring SDK and OOo build environment
together. Before someone jumps to conclusions: we are not thinking about
simply throwing out the SDK stuff and replacing it by the full-blown OOo
build environment with all its bells and whistles, we are thinking about
a more modular environment that can be customized to the particular
needs. The things you mentioned fit nicely into these considerations,
and this is also true for Ivo's work that started this thread. (BTW: I
think that this is awesome work and it is definitely a first step into
the right direction.)

An announcement for the build environment review/rework and how people
can contribute to it, either by giving input or by helping us doing the
work, will follow soon.

Regards,
Mathias
