In node

No, server is a relatively thin layer over node, they are cumulative.

Nothing significant

All of the repos produce libraries and tests. Some produce examples as
well. These three also include command line executables:

libbitcoin-node (bn)
libbitcoin-server (bs)
libbitcoin-explorer (bx)

The node command line is more of a debugging tool. It doesn't expose
it's configuration in a file. Server has robust configuration and can
operate as a node by simply disabling the API endpoints. All three have
signed downloadable/portable binaries as well.

The binaries produced generally provide command line parsing and
configuration files. All core functionality is exposed in libraries
(used by the binaries).

NP, there's also a lot of current info on the libbitcoin-server and
libbitcoin-explorer (bx) github wikis. BX has extensive documentation.
