The best way to do such things is usually gradually. The first steps could
be:
1) Move ufc into the ffc repo.
2) Move dolfin wrapper generation back from dolfin to ffc?
In these cases there are no big history and patching issues,
so this can be done soon with no issues whatsoever (but
preferably after we merge the work in progress by Anders and I).
