One difficulty with this approach is that search paths are currently a
“host-side” feature: there’s a ‘search-paths’ field in <manifest-entry>,
which is populated before the profile is actually built.
What I suggest above would mean turning search paths into a “build-side”
feature, which has some implications.
Needs more thought…
