Then I would actually recommend integrating your directory structure into 
the haiku tree.

haiku
  src
    ...
    3rdparty
      ...

Then you can use Haiku's build system directly. And adding stuff to the 
built Haiku image can be done using the respective rules (cf. 
build/jam/HaikuImage).

PS: Any opinions about introducing a src/3rdparty (or whatever name) 
placeholder directory that third party developers who want to port their 
projects to Haiku can use to "svn switch" to their repository?
