hmm, since the help-patches depend on so many external libraries, why 
don't you just add ".." (or, if you prefer, the full path to 
.../trunk/externals) to your search path?

or, if this is no option, just make the link on your local machine.


the reason why i bring this up is, that i tried to zip the entire 
repository (on linux), and couldn't unzip it (on windows), obviously 
because of the over-long path.
one could argue that this is just a problem of my usage of zip.

but then, the reason why i had to do it via zip is, that there is this 
bad file in the gridflow part of the repository (inv*-icon.png);
one could argue as well, that i just shouldn't use NTFS (or w32, that is)

i believe that there shouldn't be any filenames unable to be restored on 
today's widely used filesystems. and i thinkthat recursion should be 
avoided on a filesystem level (esp. if there are alternatives)


just my 2¢ (i stop ranting now)
