I like that approach. I already implemented some steps towards it as a
discussion base.
* dvc-register-dvc can be used to register a new system
* dvc-current-active-dvc returns the currently active dvc
It scans dvc-select-priority to find the first matching system
* One thing that is not fully clear is, how to set dvc-select-priority
- Set it in dvc-register-dvc
+ drawback: the order depends on the load order
+ drawback: the lists gets long, testing is probably no cheap operation
+ advantage: No further settings necessary
- The user should customize it
+ drawback: more work for the user
+ advantage: the user knows what he wants
* xhg-tree-root, tla-tree-root are the first set of specific functions
that must be implemented for every dvc
