Yeah, that looks like it.  I never would have hit upon the read-tree
step by myself -- I would have just laid things out with the prefix
already embedded in the subprojects.

Hmmm... it seems to me that feeding changes back to the subprojects
might be difficult (and that is born out by a comment at the end of
the page you referenced.)

How much do folks use this approach?
