In order to implement url variables, and mirror list, which I don't consideer 
features but semantics we have to implement to "follow" the repoinfo 
standard, I would like to propose a way to implement url variables and a 
simple way to extend them.

- mirrorlist: easy, we just need to download the list in repomanager and read 
the urls when refreshing the source or downloading packages.

- url variables: easy, we do substitution inside repomanager before 
downloading data.

- url variables "plugins": -> provide the basc ones built-in (arch, 
releasever, etc)
-> in zypp.conf
[url-variables]
foo=/somescript.sh

or by convention (just drop a script in /etc/zypp/urlvars/foo )

What do you think?

Duncan
