The value comes from solenv/inc/libs.mk

IIRC, the 'qa' subdirs are not part of the normal build [the 'to get a running 
OOo' one ;-)], they are tests that you can run once you have the OOo built.  
So - from my point of view, you can give them a smaller priority for now; I'd 
focus on getting 'sw' (Writer), or 'sc' (Calc) now, they are big, and could 
be good for the comparison with dmake (see my other mail).

Not really.  From what I know, := expands the right side first, before the 
assignment; see http://tools.openoffice.org/dmake/dmake_4.3.html for more.

I for one am interested in anything that could speedup the build, or make the 
build less monolithic [but unfortunately I have no power wrt. the 
decision ;-)]
