Since perldap and java-sdk both depend on the c-sdk, if the perl/java 
build infrastructure depends on having the c-sdk in a 
guaranteed-to-exist known location, it might need to be tweaked a bit if 
the three are in separate repos.  From the point of view of consuming 
applications that want to pull from the repo(s) directly, it strikes me 
that most such apps are going to care at most about one language 
binding, so the ability to pull & tag that on its own seems like a win 
there.  As other folks have pointed out, there isn't really that much 
code, so it's not that big of a deal either way.
