Why is that a goal ? 

Coulnd't we just splitt off the server into base libs and the 
individual servers (DDX'es) ?

Yes, we already had this topic. Splitting the server into separate 
modules would so exorbitant complicated that instead its worth
coppling around with really dirty hacks, without a clear module
structure.

I don't understand why that, but I don't care anymore, since I 
cannot imagine that reasons are technical. (I won't waste my time
w/ other folks psy or soc problems ...).

Oh, great. Clear modularity can help much for this goal.
We could start with these files in the DIX stuff which are filled
up with lots of #ifdef $DDX ... I'm already working on that.
