Hey, i think it would be pretty cool if it would be possible to add a setting in .barracuda.cnf to add modules globally to all platforms using the o_contrib_* directories.

We already do this for some modules (by adding them to all existing/previous platforms), so it should be possible to make it customizable, if that is what you suggest. We should probably depend on Drush for this, so you could easily define the version you want, like: drush dl ctools-6.x-1.10 or drush dl ctools-6.x-1.x-dev etc.

Yep making it possible to make it customizable would be great. If you think it through you would also would like to add libraries and themes which reminds at drush make... I just don't know if drush make makes it possible to download stuff to custom directories...

This should be left for the system admin to decide on how to extend the list of modules included there. It is too easy to introduce conflicts due to duplicate includes etc, so we shouldn't make it easier. If you know what are you doing, adding any module you wish manually is easy, after all.
