I have locally tried your modifications. Aside from the content of my 
previous email, I updated my clone (force push) to clean up the commits, and 
to modify your build.sh script to maintain the different libraries in the 
repo.

I am still interested in what the C++ code (and build.sh) look like in the 
case of one-module-per-library. 

It is obvious from looking at build.sh as it is that the buildsystem needs 
to be changed when adding a new import to a c++ file, as I have described. 
see the commit adding Grape separately and the changes required to the 
buildsystem which were not required in the non-modules world:

I will see if I can get a recent GCC build for comparison and to determine 
whether the callback-to-the-buildsystem used in GCC makes a difference in 
that respect.

I'm still interested in a response to my previous email in that respect.

Thanks,

Stephen.
