Aha, okay, but where I should put this definition? 
I now have something like this (simplified):

corp_layout = Layout.new
corp_layout... blahblah

define 'project', :layout => corp_layout do
  define 'main', :layout => corp_layout, :base_dir => '' do   
      project.group = 'mainapp' 
  end

  define 'subproject1', :layout => corp_layout, :base_dir => 
'../../subproject1/workspace' do
      project.group = 'banners' 
  end

  define 'subproject2', :layout => corp_layout, :base_dir => 
'../../subproject2/workspace' do
      project.group = 'banners' 
  end
end

Sweet! I guess then I can somehow duplicate the THIS_VERSION code so that I get 
similar functionality
but then specific to my 'banners' group of projects.

Nice.

Aah, okay then. :)
