For now, I think this could be accomplished with clever CMake hackery
(in the out-of-tree module) to attempt to detect libgnuradio-core vs.
libgnuradio-runtime, and set up the linkage appropriately.  The actual
runtime code hasn't changed, *yet*.

However, the 3.7 runtime C++ API will be undergoing the same virtual
private implementation overhaul as the C++ blocks API did, which will
make it incompatible with the current 3.6 API.  This is the reason it
will be a new major release number and being done on the 'next' branch
vs. the 'master' branch.
