In fact, I had considered this, but I think that EBZR_SOURCEDIR isn't
a good name because it's not distinctive. For example, EBZR_STORE_DIR
contains a repository of sources, too.

And they're not compatible with each other:

# @FUNCTION: subversion_fetch
# @USAGE: [repo_uri] [destination]

# @FUNCTION: mercurial_fetch
# @USAGE: [repository_uri] [module] [sourcedir]
