It works if I then use [bar], but if I use [abs2/bar], it fails.


Let me see if I can clarify the question:

How do I design a library "foo" (of abstractions) so that it can use abstractions 

from library "bar" if "bar" is installed to the system libdir location, but also so that it can
use abstractions from "bar" when both "foo" and "bar" are shipped with the patch in its 

directory?

For example, let's say my "foo" library uses some abstractions from list-abs.  I'd like to 

design it so that I can ship my patch with "foo" and "list-abs" included with it, but also so 

that "foo" can be used by anyone who downloads it and already has list-abs installed.  I 

can't think of a way to do that, other than making "list-abs" a subdirectory of "foo", which is 

ugly.
