As you know, the design is hindered by requirements, so ease up! :)

As of the "import magic" - there is nothing magical about it, it just sets up 
TOOLCHAIN_PATH and TOOLCHAIN_SYSPATH automatically. Otherwise you'd have to 
set at least TOOLCHAIN_PATH manually and it works. So, I still don't see what 
exactly is broken and needs to be fixed.

BTW, the requirements for absolute toolchain path come from dsplink and not 
the external toolchain, AFAICR...
