Yeah, that's what I do too of course. And then come all the "unknown
resolver" messages... so I recon it's not really supported after all.
I mean, digging the archives it turns out it's like that in earlier
versions too, so it's not even a 2.0.0 bug.

Oh, I'm pretty sure just everyone who ever used multiple
ivysettings.xml has met at least the "unknown resolver" error
messages, so did Xavier Hanin himself. Crafting a test case where they
don't occur would be harder. :) I just hope there is some hidden trick
that I miss... like a magical dontMessWithUserCache setting or
something. (Using an own cache for each ivysettings.xml is not 100%
solution either, as it still pollutes the common user cache if the
dependency is present there too, as I described in detail in an
earlier mail.)

Anyway, I guess there is no solution, so then I will fill a Jira issue
for this... with minimal test case, of course.
