Well, I actually dont have any distro. I'm building evrything
from scratch up. 

The problem is: 

I need to configure my systems as small as possible. Okay, I could
throw out evrything I think I don't need. But how to I know what
is really needed ? If we've split it into separate modules, then
the buildsystem will know - a simple pkg-config query would be
enough for most cases.
