Good, so I'm not the only one, and (surprise! :)) I agree with Timo on 
this one! Indeed, I have one tests set in the main tree and many working 
copies which don't need to waste time building same stuff.

I'm all for modularity too.

But as I said in another message, it would be good to have a whole 
picture, maybe there are some ground-breaking arguments which will make 
us convinced.

WBR,
