53    Productization of subprojects
54    -----------------------------
55    
56    Libvob, storm, alph &c started from fenfire as modules and at the end
57    started weighing so much that fenfire had to "give birth" --- separate
58    them into separate projects.
59    
60    The new subprojects have clearly defined immediate goals in supporting
61    fenfire and hopefully others --- fenfire continues to be the soft research core.
