What he really means is splitting out gnuradio-core into more top-level blocks. Eventually, we probably want a gnuradio-runtime that only contains the basic block parent classes and and the scheduler. This way, for getting the runtime engine going, you need a minimum of dependencies. We would then have other top level blocks containing the other blocks that are currently in gnuradio-core. I've already started splitting off a gr-digital block in one of my branches to this effect. Tom
