I wonder if it is possible to dynamically select different devkits
from inside a target (using some SBOX_* environment variable), just
like it's possible for selecting a different compiler ? I've managed
to do something similar (using the SBOX_SCRATCHBOX_CONFIG as
documented on /scratchbox/doc/variables.txt) to dynamically change
compilers without requiring to change the target configuration, but I
don't know if tha's possible for devkits too.

If that would at all be possible, it would just be a matter of having
the devkits installed on the autobuilder, without changing the target
setup.

My two cents,
