I'm not entirely convinced of this yet, but I still need to ponder this
some.
Example:
I want to "inherit" a common web app project and add, say, XDoclet
generation of web.xml.

But I don't want to import all the pieces for every build. I want to inject
something into the dependency graph of an already pre-defined build. How
would that play out with imports?
