I don't understand why this is a problem. I'm currently developing a set of
applications that use a common 2D graphics library, called jgraphics. I
have a project file for jgraphics and a project file for each of the
applications that use jgraphics. This all works very nicely. I can be
working on AppA and realize that I need to add a method to a jgraphics
class. I open the source for the jgraphics class and all the settings for
the jgraphics project are restored. I edit and compile the class and then
switch back to the AppA source file. All the settings are restored for
AppA. So all I need to do is to type 
C-c C-v C-c to recompile the AppA class. I find it very nice to be able to
develop the common library and the app in tandem in the same .emacs session.
