I agree with this. There may be certaintly cases where buildfiles can be just 
used
but I fail to see what is this big volume of buildfiles that out of the sudden 
will
be available for reuse.

Can someone post a real example of importing lets say 3 different buildfiles
from 3 different jakarta projects being able to do something meaningful with the
combine buildfile? No modifictions of the original files allowed :-0

Basedir is not necessarily the same as the directory where the project file is.
These are different concepts and I thought basedir.<project.name> had been added
for just that use.
