[Feature,Discussion]: Use in monorepos about builder

[ryan-roemer]

@trusktr -- I haven't worked a lot with monorepos, but my co-workers have on a lot of projects now, so I'd definitely be interested in builder support for them if it makes sense. I don't really have a good idea of what features specifically we'd need to add?

You could either identify things for us to hash out here on the ticket, or maybe create a minimal repository that is a monorepo and just set up a skeleton for how you'd like things to work (even if they don't) and I can jump in and see what I can do.

Side note -- might not apply at all to any of your use cases, but we do have a generic purpose multi-repository tool (not specific to builder or archetypes), https://github.com/FormidableLabs/lank, that lets you efficiently:

• "link" together dependent projects without using file copying or symlinks
• execute multiple commands across projects in parallel.

It's what we normally use for development across our builder-controlled victory* projects. It's also what I use on non-builder projects when I'm changing 2+ projects at the same time.

Got a link to an example repo that contains lanked projects (builder-controlled)? (preferably with the more lanked projects the better, to get an idea of how it scales)
