[pypy-dev] RPython as a separate package

[Bogdan Opanchuk]

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you, I've seen it in the repo. But one still cannot install it
as a separate package, say, in CPython, and it's not even available as
a package in the PyPy itself (it's only used at build stage, as far as
I understand). Are there any plans to complete the splitting and make
it a standalone package?
