Could you share the tricks you are doing so far?

I'm working on making the SDK (host dir. and staging dir.) relocatable.
You can check the current state of my branch [1].
I hope to submit a first step before the 2016.02 RC month, but this is
not yet ready :-/

Anyway, I'm really interested in gathering all that have to be done
for the relocatable SDK. ;-)
