Before proceeding, i would suggest that you get the guidance of Pau or mine. 
This is a very transversal modification and it should be done carefully to 
keep the rest of the code compiling. We had hard experiences with transversal 
migrations such as this one. It needs some planning, test driven development 
and so on. Send to the list any patch/code you are working on so this could 
turn into a community effort.

This is not that strange. Most projects move all the files to a distint folder 
such CLAM does. Anyway we don't like that, because errors are reported in 
files that you cannot edit. It is a long life to-do for the build system. I 
would rather invest time in fixing it than documenting it. ;-)
