## Problem
The performance of tracer advection and/or graupel in the blue line might not meet production requirements. Keeping them in a separate branch is a lot of overhead.
## Appetite
<!-- Explain how much time we want to spend and how that constrains the solution -->
## Solution
* Introduce an interface to icon-exclaim to make components optional.
* Add `--somehow-ignore-component-x-for-dsl` flag to `configure.ac` interface
* dycore is always active
* Pass information to cmake at configure step to only compile stencils of activated components
* Create list of files for Liskov to preprocess in Makefile? at configure time?
* Get motivated by pgi_inlib
* Or pass liksov a list of files it is allowed to preprocess (ugly solution)
* Clean up tracer advection to restore original OpenACC functionality if tracer advection is deactivated
* Also debug and merge tracer advection
