As a note: I added this feature on request from Pete MacKinnon in
rhbz#1005971.  It took me less than 2 hours to implement, test and
describe it.

I already looked into adding "local mode" for Apache Ivy.  It should be
fairly easy to complete, but I didn't implement it simply because no one
have asked for it.  So if you would like to see better integration of
other build tools with Fedora artifact repository then please request
it.  (I think remember someone discussing "local mode" for SBT, Simple
Build Tool for Scala. If you need that, feel free to contact me.)
