Really, I don't need exactly "externals". Something like symbolic links
will be Ok :)

Yes. In case of third-party library or library with well-defined API it is
Ok. But in my case library and application are both moving targets and
evolving together :(
Really, something like "mount same repo in two places in WC" -- what I
