Yes good list.

What if a file is in both the unoffical directory and the official directory?
Which one should win? I think the one unofficial version should win but should
it be the other way round? May this should be a selectable option?

I like this since it's a pain to inline the s\ subfiles into the unofficial part
files befire I can create an MPD
I have a half finished MPD program I wrote a while back to solve a problem I
had. Since you've expressed need and I would like to see a program that
implements some of the features you've suggested above, I think I'll clean it up
and release it.
