Andreas,

Honestly, I don't understand what you are proposing. The codebase is  
already broken out much as you propose and with SCons, at least, it  
quite easy to just build or rebuild a portion.

I don't think many people compile the Mapnik codebase very frequently,  
and I don't find it any slower now than in the past.
