Compile them into a small shared library?

I wouldn't use submodules like this.  Better make common/ a real shared 
library which can be compiled + installed on its own.

I'd keep the spice-gtk name, it is more than just a client.

It also leaves the spice-client name for the old one and probably 
reduces confusion as we have spice-client packages with the old client 
today.

We might add a spice-all repo which has just all the other stuff as 
submodules and some makefile glue to build everything in the correct 
order.  As pure convinience thing.

cheers,
   Gerd
