May be one more thing. One issue I see at the moment is that you can't
easily use the Gradle dependency transport layer to get the tar.gz you will
need for your custom dependencies. With some tweaks that should be possible
though. Please ask on the list if you need any help for that. As said, we
think this is a very interesting feature and definitely want to provide
eventually generic support for repository based source dependencies.
