Thanks. Well, at least in the name of potential Windows users... ;)

Intended as far as I like to split all things that seem orthogonal to each 
other into separate moduls (as can be seen by the endless number of files and 
directories in Okteta, things like "libframesprint" or "piecetable").
And I follow the splits also in the CMakeLists.txt. So the moduls can be 
easily moved around, shared, and the single CMakeLists.txt files stay small 
size.

So far there have been only static libraries for executables, so things seem 
fine (or ok, at least :).

Thanks for the reminder. Well, now I am curious: What is the reason 
for "static libraries linked into shared libraries" = nono? And could we 
document this on techbase?
