Obviously the long term goal is to have a solid design language coupled
with Gtk+/Clutter features that makes it easy to use, but while the
design is being evolved we don't want to risk putting too much into the
core platform, as anything there are highly frozen and API/ABI stable.

So, i think sharing code by different means is the best approach for
now. The git subtree stuff seems like a good candidate for this.
