I don't see any need for that. BBWin is being developed entirely by
Etienne, and he has his own schedule for making new releases and
improvements. Merging BBWin with Hobbit would make that more difficult, 
I think.

It is true that with the central configuration that BBWin now has, there
will be some more coordination needed between the two projects. E.g. I
won't do a release of Hobbit without checking with Etienne first if he
has any updates that he wants merged first. But I think on the whole it
is better to keep the two projects going separately.
