So maybe what is really needed is a split of the revcommonlibrary into 3
separate ones:  revdesktoplibrary, revmobilelibrary, and revcommonlibrary.

the appropriate library and would be available to all apps that are built
for that platform.  (I actually looked into this when working on adding the
common library to mobile.)
