 From meeting notes:
 We now have the capacity to build multiple projects in Buildbot, even
 from different repositories.  There are lots of optimizations to make
 to this support, mostly in the Source steps.  But we also need to
 think about how to support interaction *between* projects - bundling
 projects together, projects that are dependencies of other projects,
 and so on.  There was general agreement that some sort of "aggregate"
 SourceStamp is a good idea, the hard part being *building* the
 SourceStamp in the scheduler and then *interpreting* it in the Source
 steps.

 VC support for submodules / externals came up as an alternative, but
 these options are not useful in all cases.
