Regarding moving stuff from extern to its own repos. I noticed a
feature of Github I was not aware of. I am not sure offhand how to use,
but seems you can link a directory in a Github repo to a commit in
another repo.

I was packaging lz4-java, it has a src/lz4 directory that is a link to
another repo.
https://github.com/lz4/lz4-java/tree/master/src

Clicking on lib directory in that repo takes you here.
https://github.com/lz4/lz4/tree/810e2ca27b3561e0f6bfa7a88e0fde6faf807064

That maybe a way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Can keep existing
structure, while allowing projects to be in other repos. From a tarball
point of view, there is no difference. It is included as if it was part
of the same repo. Seems to be a pretty cool feature. I think could be
of use in this scenario.
