Good question. if both modules are part of the same parent directory,
may be that parent directory could contain some 'meta build system'
that simply delegates to the subdirs for simple builds, but does
a little more for packaging to avoid two distinct packages to be
generated. I acknowledge this getting a bit involved, though...

PS: Did you consider switching to subversion (which sf.net now supports) ?
     That would make it easier to modify a project's file system layout.
