The philosophy used in all the non-Turbine implementations of build
scripts :-) is that you *don't* define everything in the local project's
build.properties -- you only code the exceptions. Therefore, you would
define lib.repo in your project's file if you *didn't* want to use the
standard one in your home directory.
See my previous message for a real-life scenario where your proposed way
creates an inability to do what *I* as a developer need to do.
