At the end, an anecdotical evidence about how far we progressed into
gbuild land: the move of gtk/kde file pickers from fpicker to vcl
introduced a dependency loop, because the pickers in vcl depend on
headers from fpicker, but fpicker already (indirectly) depends on vcl.

What is our attitude towards circular module dependencies in an 
all-gbuild scenario?  My understanding is that technically they do not 
pose a problem.  But how about them from a hygiene point of view?  (And 
if we want to avoid them, would there be technical measures to do so?)

i believe cyclical dependencies indicate bad architecture.  if 2 modules
depend on each other, then either they should be changed not to depend
on each other, or merged into one module.

Actually this was only because of one .hrc file, so I moved it from
fpicker to vcl and everything is all right again.
