I can't do that for oox because there are 'generated' files to
deliver... _api stuff is to deliver the module 'static' include.
that is done up front and not wating for the module to finish, that
way child module can start compiling before the parent module is
finished linking + deliver of the library
but in the case of oox there are include files that need delivering
that are generated... so they are not part of the oox_inc package

that would break the per-module build-ability, as you noticed below.
