.. btw, when I say that, I guess I'm lying a bit.

Yes, the above will actually generate a valid git superproject repository, 
but it won't generate/populate the necessary .gitmodules stuff. You'd need 
to add it by hand.

But yes, if you want to avoid doing that hand-editing, you should use the 
whole "git submodule add .." thing to clone the git repos you already have 
into a supermodule. But the .gitmodules thing really is pretty simple, you 
just do something like

	[submodule "x"]
		path = x
		url = official-url-of-x
	[submodule "y"]
		path = y
		url = official-url-of-y

and now you just do "git submodule init" and you should be all done 
(again, the "git submodule init" thing you could do by hand by editing 
the .git/config file, but since you can do it automatically in-place, 
there's no real point).
