Re: compile gwt into seperate core and app module

Have you looked at code splitting? I'm not sure exactly what you are
trying to accomplish, but this allows you to build an "in-house" app
with independent modules that depend on a core api, and only get
loaded on demand. It doesn't allow for externally created plugin
modules, as gwt requires a monolithic compile to do all of its code
optimizations.
