I think distributions would prefer smaller self-contained projects, that don't 
need too many dependencies. If we make intel-gen4asm into i-g-t, we'd need 
additional configure options to enable/disable certain components, e.g. 
testdisplay with cairo/libudev deps.

While we are at re-organizing intel-gen4asm, I would also suggest to think 
about using Chris' libbrw as the actual backend to the GenX assembler. There is 
a need to generate code both at run-time and build-time, and it would be better 
to use the same assembler back-end, so that to simplify validation and 
enablement of future generations. IMHO, that'd a more sensible move than 
deciding on where to host intel-gen4asm. :)

Thanks,
Gwenole.
