individual requirement mirror defines which features we want to mirror, eg., http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/requirements/mylyn/build.xml
then the composite site defines which versions of the requirement we want to collect
it's like having a category.xml to list the IUs, but it keeps the mapping between [requirement type]::-[list of features] and [version of the collection]::-[requirement type] in two places
first a build.xml (or pom.xml if you prefer) to define the requirement mirror itself
then a composite*.xml pair to define which mirrors are needed in the overall reqs site
and then your .target file can be the filter

> Instead of parsing and tweaking a .target file to generate the "requirement" repository, we could make it a normal "eclipse-repository" artifact. We would manage versions in it.
> Then we know the versions of deps in that site, and we can create target platform using 0.0.0 for versions since we are sure they are resolved against our site.
