Just had a thought.

While "most folks" will use ARK for general deployment, I have been
interested in using ARK for use where each user may want their own
environment.

In thinking about the "how do I compile a package that has multiple
dependencies" problem I realized we could solve this problem and my goal
with the same solution - create a "custom" deployment area that only
contains the libs and includes for the dependent parts of a package.

This custom deployment area could be quickly rebuilt because the base
packaegs would be revealed but not necessarily deployed (right?), and these
custom deployment areas could also be easily "cleaned", right?

Just a  thought...
