Managing 3rd party dependencies for C++

[Hylton Peimer]

We have to parallel development groups.

One group uses Java with Maven, and the maven manages dependencies with a local Sonatype Nexus repository.

The C++ team also have many third party libraries which need to be managed. Since moving to HG we used subrepository feature of hg to bring the third party libraries from an SVN repository.  Previous solution used SVN externals.  SVN's advantage here is that we don't have to fetch the entire repository, instead only bring the required version in the .hgsub

This solution is clumsy. Especially updating and adding new versions.

Are there alternative solutions for managing third party C++ libs with Mercurial, on Windows.
