I know it is not entirely intuitive... but here's the story:

org.openscience.cdk is a java package. 'smarts' is a module and can contain 
(and does) classes from more than one java package. You can find in 
build/*.javafiles exactly which files are in which 'module'. JavaCC indeed 
creates .java files, and only one of these will actually end up in 
the 'smarts' module... (look for '@cdk.module' in the source code class 
JavaDoc... If such a JavaDoc is not given, it will automatically go into 
the 'extra' module.

Does that make sense?

The reason for all this, is the the build system I worked out will now only 
compile the .java files defined for a specific module, so that we get clean 
modules from which users can pick the functionality they need and do not 
need, cutting the total size of the CDK library needed for their usage.
