SVN Externals No Good

After much work using svn externals for internal class libraries i have come to the realisation that they should not be used for this.

A few other people tend to agree, or have found the smae problems that i have.
Its just a nightmare to try and manage them.
I'm actually starting to think that no software configuration information should be stored in the svn repository and that should be maintain by an outside program.
