Hey everyone, I've gone and implemented the two features discussed in [1] with the goal of using them to replace the current _externals API. The code is up at [2]. I'd like to get a couple people to build and run the tests (./bootstrap && ./configure && make dev && make check) to make sure everything is sane. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions. If a couple people report back with successful test runs I'll probably push this to trunk in the next couple days barring someone raising a serious objection.
There's also a blog post at [3] that describes the current situation with words and stuff.
