I think were beyond separating the projects.
Both with the old makefiles and the new, I think splitting it off now
is just going to make things more difficult later on.

I've personally compiled it on linux, and solaris with both systems.
And I've recently installed freebsd and am going to try compiling it
there.  While we seem to fight a bit on the mailing list a lot of
headway has been made.  I don't really see the benefits of splitting
it up, what would we gain?  Is there anyone out there that feels like
the current system is holding them back from improving it?  If so
what are the issues your having? :)
