Keep the common components in common libraries, subproject-specific  
ones in subproject libraries.

Another way (which I use) is to maintain the project with a revision  
control system, and  do releases and branches ("alternative  
subparts") as you'd do them for software. This is especially handy  
when there's a software component to the project...
