One difficulty with this approach is that search paths are currently a “host-side” feature: there’s a ‘search-paths’ field in <manifest-entry>, which is populated before the profile is actually built. What I suggest above would mean turning search paths into a “build-side” feature, which has some implications. Needs more thought… Ludo’.
