I realised the existing *.pth mechanism is a better fit for my original use
case (sharing distributions between virtual environments), but *.ref files
would still be useful as platform neutral symlinks for dev environments and
selective path overrides. So +1 if you can find the time, but don't stress
if it slips to 3.5.
