All the SCM Commands take a Map context that they're executing in so I'm
hoping that we can enable per scm provider configuration in a better way
that we're doing today. This should make it possible to have a single
ClearCase provider while we make this provider more flexible and
configurable based on user configuration.

I would say as much as possible, using these libraries to create something
like viewcvs is also something that I've been thinking of.
