The prj40_prototype branch (discussed on this mailing list) is aiming to 
  have that feature. IIRC, the current project file is a .xml that 
happens to contain a filesystem structure -- but the exact contents may 
change (e.g. if some better serialization is invented). What is not 
likely to change is that:
- the project file can be anywhere
- it will have textual form (more precisely: it will be an XML)
- it should contain file referencies in a (more or less) portable form
