I think there is no issue here. The project manager shouldn't limit the 
type of the children nodes bases on the type of the parent node as it's 
done now. This limitation was inherited from the previous code, the new 
project project manager doesn't need it. I'm currently changing the 
project manager to fix this.

I haven't understood this. I don't plan to add an "unknown node type" 
because each kind of node should correspond only to a specific icon so I 
don't think an "unknown node" is needed.

Then, if there is something really specific, I can add new nodes like 
the module and package for autotools backend.

Yes, this is clearly wrong, we can call it a bug but it should be fixed 
this week.
