I think that the minimum requirement is to have the libs in a
repo-compliant directory structure.

It might however also be possible to define a repository using the file
protocol, like:

    <repository>
      <id>localfilerepo</id>
      <name>custom repo</name>
      <url>file://my/repo/dir</url>
    </repository>

but i haven't tried this yet. In any case, constructs like this defeat
the purpose of what maven is (should be) all about. The long term
solution lies in maven advocacy towards other projects, as frustrating
as this may sound.
