Talking about ideas for further extending the impact of UNIFIED_SOURCES, it seems that the biggest limitation at the moment is that sources can't be unified between different moz.build's. Because of that, source directories that consist of many small sub-directories do not benefit much from UNIFIED_SOURCES at the moment. I would love to have the ability to declare in a moz.build that UNIFIED_SOURCES from here downwards, including subdirectories, are to be unified with each other. Does that sound reasonable?
