What I probably really want is `local' revlibs. Having a hook that
returns a revlib path allows me to do this without getting into big
arguments over what the right algorithm is.

Perhaps adding enough hacks in _other_ hooks might address the
hard-linkability issue (though I'm not convinced of that yet), but none
of the above address the `manageability' issue -- global resources get
to be a pain beyond a certain point. It's like the comment about
pristines being nice under {arch} because they go away when you remove
the tree; I want something a little different, but for similar reasons.
I'd like to keep things localized in some way; it doesn't necessarily
have to be exactly the way I described. I don't _want_ to have a
gigantic long global path (containing many rarely-used entries) if I can
avoid doing so; if it comes down to it, I'll put up with it, but it's
not because I think such a solution is a good one, only because I don't
like arguing about it.
