Looking at MNG-7772, this should not require any code change, but it's all about configuration.

I propose to load / interpolate the following files:

• ${maven.home}/conf/maven.properties
• ${maven.user.conf}/maven.properties
• ${maven.project.conf}/maven.properties

Those files would be used to load additional user properties for Maven.  

maven.installation.conf = ${maven.home}/conf
maven.user.conf         = ${user.home}/.m2
maven.project.conf      = ${session.rootDirectory}/.mvn

${includes} = ?"${maven.user.conf}/maven.properties", \
              ?"${maven.project.conf}/maven.properties"

Being loaded early when Maven is loaded, those files could reference directories to load settings, toolchains and extensions.

In various places, the maven code could be simplified and offer more configuration points at the same time.
