currently libraries must sit in a directory on $PATH. On most systems
all directories
in $PATH are not user-writable.
Therefore a user cannot install libraries that compiled programs can use AFAICT

I've proposed this before I know: a separate environment variable for
directories to search, presumably GAMBASPATH (like PYTHONPATH, or
Java's CLASSPATH)

This would also help with my .project/.startup svn issue (which can't
be fixed by Gambas directly as there is a lot of non-Gambas stuff in
our repo)
