Sorry to come to this late in the day, but I don't see the point in having
one-repo-to-rule-them-all _unless_ done via submodules -- the separation into 3
different projects is quite correct IMO, as each part is clearly independently
useful (or at least, such dependencies as exist are one-way only).

If you want a nice example of submodules, you can see it here with LDC (a
compiler for the D programming language based on the LLVM backend).  This
project has the language runtime, standard library (Phobos) and test suite each
as separate submodules.

Since OLL is moving back to GitHub, that shouldn't be a problem.
