Platform-specific files

Hi,

Is it possible to set things up using subversion so that there's a core
directory structure and various platform-specific extras? Not just the
obvious platform subdirectory (I've done that already using
svn:externals), but platform-specific files scattered throughout the
structure.

I'd like to be able to modify and check in common files in one place,
and still be able to get out platform-specific build trees (eg. for
WinCE and for Linux) which pick up the latest common files and the
platform-specific build files.

E.g. I have the following tree:

trunk/
    proj/
        dir1/
            file1
        dir2/
            file2
    make/
        WinCE/
            dir1/
                makefile
                sources
            dir2/
                makefile
                sources
            dirs
        Linux/
            dir1/
                makefile
            dir2/
                makefile

Is there any way I can set up a path which automatically merges (e.g.)
proj/* and WinCE/*, without having to do any explicit merging of changes
from either proj or make. E.g. so I can check out trunk/proj_WinCE and
get

proj_WinCE/
        dir1/
                file1
                makefile [from WinCE]
                sources
        dir2
                file2
                makefile [from WinCE]
                sources
        dirs

and I can check out trunk/proj_Linux and get:

proj_Linux/
        dir1/
                file1
                makefile [from Linux]
        dir2
                file2
                makefile [from Linux]

Thanks,
