I don't see a reason why the work should block on moving headers.
I would do it in two steps:
We need to incrementally get rid of things in solver like solver/*/rdb
solver/*/idl ..
In the end you should be able to
cp -r solver/*/inc include
export SOLARINC="$(SRCDIR)/include $SOLARINC"
make clean
disable Packages in gbuild
1, and make using only workdir
2, Then it should be ~easy to add gbuild rules for delivering to
installation/ and you are done :-)
Of course 2, won't be quick because there are many special files /
directories like ure etc.

And this two steps have nothing to do with scp2, we just need to make
sure solenv/bin/make_installer.pl finds all the things it needs.

Best,
Matus
