Explain the new design then... how do you tell where a lib can be found
without some kind of search path ? At least *one* directory where to
search should be supplied in one way or the other (I agree that a whole
list of paths is not too useful)

Keep in mind the case of exchanging files with other people... (OrCAD
SDT actually saved whole pathnames in the project... these where *royal*
PITAs)
