Richard/Andy,
This gives me an idea. Instead of a split, why not simply make
those DO classes non-functional given a parameter. This allow
developers to use base as a library without the need for daemons,
and it would avoid a messy and, possibly, unnatural, split in the
base lib.
Well that's really what I was proposing ... except that we mostly
don't need to make anything non-functional, and where a feature is
non functional, we don't need a parameter to make it that way.
As it currently stands, all you *need* to use base as a library
without daemons (or any resource files) is to delete/not-install
those daemons and resource files.
What we need a parameter for is to get base to refrain from issueing
warning messages (you can already disable warning/error logs of
course, but it would be nice to only disable warnings about missing
external resource files).
Actually ... I'm getting the impression that the best thing to do
might just be not warn about missing external resources if the
library is installed in a path other than System/Library/Libraries
