I think we might just build libosmo-gsm as part of the libosmocore.git
repository, similar to what we do for libosmovty.  But this may be
a matter of personal taste ;)

What do others  think about it?  I think splitting the include paths
and the .so file names makes users (i.e. the application programs)
aware that it is two libraries.

Splitting the git repositories doesn'nt really buy us anything apart
from yet another git checkout/update/configure/make/... that needs to be
executed.

If at some future point we want to split the repositories, it will not
incur any changes to the application programs like openbsc, as they
already check for two different pkgconfig etc.
