That is a way, thanks.
But I am thinking something like bellow:

smartfoo
  \lib
    \i386-win32\
      \1.0
      \1.1
      \1.2.3
      *.ppu (trunk)
    \x86_64-win64
      \1.0
      *.ppu (trunk)


My point is each project just use PPU files, not the real sources because I
would like
to have just one source.
The correct way is the author freeze the version using a label, but I can
do this myself locally. Then, I can compile and copy the PPU files for the
right lib\<plataform>\<version>.

But using this way I will need to set up which path to use when I add a
package into the project, right?
What do you think about it?
