Fine with me.

But keep in mind that to reach real encapsulation in the end _in theory_
src/*.[Ch] should not contain any  #include "frontends/*".

So getting a bufferlist via

        #include "frontends/Application"
        ...
        void foo()
        {
                do_something with theApp->bufferList()
        }

does not seem right, it'd rather be something like

        void foo(BufferList const & bufferlist)
        {
                do_something with bufferlist
  }
