Good point.  This would affect all projects in the top level,
though perhaps the file is right for all of them.  

OOC, if we wanted to say, source "../gdb/.dir-locals.el" from
a gdbserver/.dir-locals.el file, would it be possible?

I guess a symlink would do too.  Except that might not work
as nicely on Windows filesystems.
