Happy to help. I work with an unusually structured application, too, and the 
ability to define new layouts is one of my favorite parts of buildr. My app 
downloads artifacts at build time, thus I can't speak to specifying local 
libraries directly. Nevertheless this looks extremely promising and quite 
simple: http://markmail.org/message/naij4hzyrxtmijwh 

Depending on your compile dependencies, it might be worthwhile looking into 
whether or not you can get all of them or most of them from a public repository 
-- https://buildr.apache.org/artifacts.html#repositories. You might be able to 
eliminate the lib/ directory entirely, and then building your application is as 
simple as pulling it from version control onto any machine that has buildr and 
an internet connection, and typing `buildr build`.

I'll let the project contributors speak to that, but I'm sure any thoughts on 
the docs are welcome :-).
