Yes.  What the above task refers to is re-writing the parent XML files
to reference ./common instead of ../common, etc.  Same for the Makefile.
The task is predicated on the idea that we are going to have certain
directories included as part of a common checkout, within the body of
the module itself.

Another way is to have a massive common module that must be checked out
and available at ../.  I think I prefer to have it all within ./ and
just fix the few docs we have.

Does this make sense?
