We had a discussion with Nicolas quite some time ago about the idea of 
splitting the plugin, and the main purpose was to ease the maintenance 
of the code and also have a cleaner architecture.

As for today, we often need to modify common Qnx/BB plugin code to 
support new features in BlackBerry 10 (new NDK releases, #logging 
system, #device management) which doesn't concern the pure Qnx 
developers (who almost use 30% of the plugin's code) and most of 
BlackBerry devs contributors are not touching the pure Qnx part.

But if you feel like this doesn't worth the split cost, then it's fine 
to me to keep it as it is now.

Cheers,
Mehdi
