Ok, understood.
So that means it is also ok to merge everything more flat together to
really have only one source for both linux and windows?

Like this:

└── src
  ├── grantlee
  ├── install-root
  ├── libdivecomputer
  ├── libgit2
  ├── libcurl
  ├── libssh2
  ├── marble-source
  ├── subsurface	<-- source from git
  ├── mxe
  └── win32   <-- windows build dir
