VMMaker-foo-bar.xyz says /everything/ about the source covered by VMMaker.
 I want the Monticello package lists for all packages involved (there's
OSProcessPlugin and some others outside of VMMaker).  I want the url of the
platforms tree and the revision (i.e. the exact coordinate to check-out the
exact same source).

This is all about reproducibility.  You provide exact coordinates.  From
those coordinates anyone can recreate the source.  That's why I check-in the
generated source along with the platforms and build trees.  That way one
only has to dereference a single coordinate, the svn tree.
