All the subrepos will be cloned to the local repo/working directory when 
you update the outer repo to a revision where they are used. Obviously 
that assumes that you use the right absolute or relative paths.

There is however an issue with creating the initial clone on a remote 
(central) server. Perhaps you can use something like:

for s in $(cat .hgsub|cut -d= -f1); do
echo hg clone $s ssh://server/foo/$s;
done
