Right. What I have finished converting is connectivity & reportbuilder (on feature/gbuild_conversions, based on Peter's work), shell (feature/gbuild_shell) and scp2 (feature/gbuild_scp2; finished, but not announced yet, because I am working on a script for comparing the install scripts produced by the old and new build). I plan to merge all three of them before the feature freeze. I do not think I will manage to convert anything else in the remaining three weeks. David Ostrovsky is currently working on testtools, but I am not sure it will be ready in time for 3.6. All these modules are candidates for adding into tail_build (adding of connectivity immediately allows adding of other modules: svl, sot, unixODBC). And I think there will be a couple of other candidates after these three branches are all merged into master. I must admit I do not know much about that "merged libs" stuff, because running libreoffice on android and similar devices is outside of my interest, so I cannot tell if these additions to tail_build are going to help Tor or not...
