Argh. This somehow seems obvious, now that you say it. This is exactly what I
need. Now tell me that this is mentioned in the user guide and I will hide in
the corner deeply embarrassed.

Depending somehow on uploadInternal was actually only a guess. I tried to
figure out how Compile etc. do it. I did this mainly by trying to understand
how the included plugins, which is not necessarily trivial.

Having this easy way to deploy a plugin in lib/plugins is already taking away a
lot of boilerplate for the buildscript. Also being able to add conventions to
repositories is a big win to make things feel more gradley. So at least from
the "share" point of view, gradle is already quite far. The "write" part is
still a bit foggy.
Thank you for your hints. I found another nice community it seems. :)
