Adding repos-root to entries file

I've come to the conclusion that I don't know whether I am capable of adding the 
repos-root to the entries file.  In particular, there are many places in the WC 
code which would apparently need to be updated (several of them in the public 
API).  Although I can easily add the repos-root to the export and cat cases, the 
translate case requires the value be available in the WC files somewhere and I 
don't see a good way to do that.

The sensible thing (for some variant of sensible) would be to rewrite all of the 
WC code to split URL into repos-root and repos-path (this is discussed in issue 
#960).  I'm not up for that, I think, nor is that likely to be available for 1.2.

I'll submit my updated keywords-as-hash patch with the new UUID keyword, and 
without any mention of properties as keywords, which may make it more palatable 
to the powers that be.

John
