Buildling parts independantly

Hello

I'm creating some subversion packages for NetBSD. The thing is that I want
to make three packages: subversion-lib, subversion-client and subversion-server.
It should be possible for the three packages to be installed at the same time,
so none can override files provided by the other. The idea is that:
subversion-lib: provide all the subversion libraries, lib* and the documentation.
subversion-client: depend on subversion-lib and install the client program only.
subversion-server: depend on subversion-lib (also on -client??) and install the
                   apache module and the administrative tools.

I've been looking at the build.conf file, but I can't figure out how to do this
division. It is not easy, I think :(

It would be interesting that you add some configure options, so that the user
could define what to build each time. For example:
./configure --build-libs=yes --build-server=no
or something like this. If you won't do it... how could I get something similar
for the packages?

The idea I have is to provide three different build.conf files, and override
the one included in the subversion package so that it builds what I want. But
this won't be easy to maintain on subversion updates.

Can anybody give me an idea about how to do this?

Thanks a lot!
