One big project with multiple small projects

I agree that svn:external is not really friendly and that I personnaly hate
it. That's why I was hoping to have another solution for that in bzr.

As I cannot wait for nested tree, I see the following workaround :

One repository called "main" that will contain the core stuff and a script
called update that will call bzr branch for each of the modules

It's really not nice but at least, it should work.
