Understood... That all looks good :-)
There a few minor details I can think of, but we can decide those later...
1) Does <shared> and/or <version> modify which prebuilt <file> we use?
2) Do we do extra checking to prevent silly combinations? Like having both
<name> and <file>. Or do we define something "usefull" for those cases?
I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones I can think of now.
