Yes, that's a first step. If it proves to get in the way of the (still
to come ;-) ) 'unified' CT_Get stuff, it will be time to rethink it.
But only then, not now.

What I think Bryan (rightfuly!) suggested was to split per component (eg.
glibc is one component by itself, uClibc is another component), not per
'familly' as you did ('cc' vs. 'libc' vs. 'kernel'...).

Besides my components coming as replies to each patch, I have a global
comment: you need to sign-off your patches, with a line like:
    Signed-off-by: Your NAME <your.mail@domain>

Otherwise, I like your CUSTOM_LOCATION_ROOT_DIR idea.

Yann E. MORIN.
