I really can't see doing this without a better (i.e. CPAN / emerge / ports - like ) build system. Mind you, I'd really like such a build system, but if we require users to manually download several separate tarballs and untar them in exactly the right spot in the source tree, we're adding a bunch of extra effort for both users and packagers.
Uh, that's not exactly what is being proposed. It would be a separate tarball that you could untar wherever you felt like, because it would not depend on the core source tree at all --- only on the files installed by a previous build of the core.
I think Marc just suggested having all the PLs in one such tarball, rather than one for each which is what I was envisioning.
Nope, I should have shut up about this, actually ... all I was proposing was an easy way for me (and nobody else) to do simultaneious tagging and branching without having to check out multiple modules individually ... as I said, I should have shut up about it, since its not something anyone else would care about :)
