It would in my opinion cause more code duplication in fact. It really
is a complete utility already and splitting it would force both projects
to reimplement part of the glue needed to use the common parts. That
would create undesired dependencies and conflicts for no benefit.

I'm pretty sure that soon what will be needed is just
"git clone github:/vtest/vtest", configure, make and then you're done.
That's very convenient for a developer.

Cheers,
Willy
