Maven is currently design to allow any number of projects to share a
common repository of JAR files.  However, as a consultant I believe that
trying to get our clients to set up a centralized repository doesn't
make a lot of sense.

I propose that we allow maven to look in multiple directories for its
libraries.  The intent would be to allow jar files to be shipped with
the source code.  It might work by adding another property such as
project.repo or maven.repo.project to a local directory (probably within
the project) where the jar files could be found.  

Alternatively, we could modify maven.repo.remote so that it takes
relative paths on the local file system or even create a
maven.repo.local.

I would favor creating a maven.repo.project that maven doesn't copy to
the shared repository (lib.repo).  Any thoughts?
