Thanks.

I think that is essentially the same as what I wrote with "symlink" in my last paragraph as a known-to-work workaround. The real location of the frotz driver, whether it is in a directory directly in the superproject, or a separate submodule that is bound to the superproject outside the "os" submodule, does not make an essential difference, as long as it is outside "os".

I was asking if people who have used submodules have better solutions than that "symlink" solution.
