-XXX trent.nelson 02-Apr-08:
-    Having the external subprojects in ..\.. relative to this directory is a
-    bit of a nuisance when you're working on py3k and trunk in parallel and
-    your directory layout mimics that of Python's subversion layout, e.g.:
-
-        C:\..\svn.python.org\projects\python\trunk
-        C:\..\svn.python.org\projects\python\branches\py3k
-        C:\..\svn.python.org\projects\python\branches\release25-maint
-
-    I'd like to change things so that external subprojects are fetched from
-    ..\external instead of ..\.., then provide some helper scripts or batch
-    files that would set up a new ..\external directory with svn checkouts of
-    the relevant branches in http://svn.python.org/projects/external/, or
-    alternatively, use junctions to link ..\external with a pre-existing
-    externals directory being used by another branch.  i.e. if I'm usually
-    working on trunk (and have previously created trunk\external via the
-    provided batch file), and want to do some work on py3k, I'd set up a
-    junction as follows (using the directory structure above as an example):
-
-        C:\..\python\trunk\external <- already exists and has built versions
-                                       of the external subprojects
-
-        C:\..\python\branches\py3k>linkd.exe external ..\..\trunk\external
-        Link created at: external
-
-    Only a slight tweak would be needed to the buildbots such that bots
-    building trunk and py3k could make use of the same facility.  (2.5.x
-    builds need to be kept separate as they're using Visual Studio 7.1.)
