Hi Tom,

I'm not really sure. I suppose it depends on the benefits it brings (and in future with shared common libs, perhaps it won't matter as much?)

Doesn't separate KiFace imply a separate unit test and utility tools too, which would be a bit of extra overhead? Unless you can still combine?

Cheers,

John
