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
