Have you thought about using Maven or something similar? I’m not really a huge fan of it, but it does strike me that your current pbeproj files could be replaced with Maven poms, I’m not sure how well it works with AS & Flex projects generally though; and, obviously, I don’t know what tooling you have planned that builds on top of your project and solution files.

I realize PBE ships with its own “package manager” - something I’m coming to regret. ;)
