It would be nice to be able to transform at build time and install the precompiled files instead of the original source code. Of course there are also some programming languages that generate C code as output (but I don't care much about those) ... Also I'd like the option of skipping any unit tests (and installing the unit testing framework in the first place) using a configuration variable or a command line flag. So we probably need a command line option and config variable namespace for addons.
