Once you have accepted a directory structure, the next step is to recognize
that directories may have internal structure, and what you need is a
descriptor telling you where you can find what you need.  Furthermore, that
directory structure really should match the layout of the individual
projects released distributions.

If you stop for a moment and think about it, you will figure out where I am
going with this.  I already have such project descriptors...  ;-)

Of course, some people might want to mix and match between released
versions of things and stuff they build for themselves, so these
descriptors need to be organized into profiles and referenced by a
workspace...
