Hmm, to be honest, I was thinking of a simpler setup where you'd have something 
like,

     base_dir/
         foo/
             snap/
                 snapcraft.yaml
         bar/
             snap/
                 snapcraft.yaml

         etc...

i.e. just there would be multiple folders containing independent snap package 
definitions.  This wouldn't require any tweaks to snapcraft, but would it be 
possible to integrate with CI in line with what's described here?

I'm anticipating it might be easier with Travis than with Launchpad but only 
because I don't know to what extent it's straightforward to define custom build 
jobs on Launchpad.  The dlang installer project already uses Travis (but 
currently only for testing) so that might be a viable option.

Thanks & best wishes,
