Hi Florian, hi Michael,

sounds sound to me - but:
Intersection also implies waste of space. In cases where the overlapping 
base classes extend 1 MB (after installation) and take more than the 
half of all, it might be better to create a base-package and state 
dependencies of server and client packages against this base package.

In some cases, the overhead of the client package is that low, that you 
could make the server package (w/o base classes) dependent on the 
client package (incl. base classes).

What do you think?

Ralf
