Do files have to be named explicitly or is there a notion of includepath or
classpath like searching in POV? If so...
Would it be possible to combine approaches? Have the base parts all in one file
but each release of revs is in another, and all the files are searched.
However I am thinking that maybe there isn't such a search for components and
you have to explicitly name every include off (somewhere, perhaps nested). If so
maybe a hybrid STILL adds value, the master include names off one big file (for
space saving reasons) and a bunch of smaller delta/addon/change files.
