As far as I'm concerned that would be fine for dmake. I never liked to 
have it in the OOo code base and I know that others would welcome to 
have it separated too.

That still leaves the problem with configure etc. as described in my 
mail that started this thread.

According to

it looks as there could be some hope, right?
