I guess another thing is that so far it sounds like you don't really 
need the inheritance. For example, in issue #257 you say that your group 
enforces the directory layout where you put artifacts in build/, so you 
don't really need to let people override it.

I agree that it would be nice to do something in this area, but I'm 
trying to avoid doing inheritance, I guess...
