Actually, I hadn't. It's possible we could you use it, but's there's a couple of design aspects where it doesn't fit as well:-

It may be that we can actually exploit gitmodules syntax in any event; newer git versions allow out-of tree submodules - so putting a .gitmodules into a module with its dependencies might work (newer git versions also track branches amongst submodules, making this more useful). Given that module installation is only for development, we only need a simple solution. An alternative would just be our own text file and a script wrapping git...
