[PD] Managing externals/abstractions in libraries

[Dan Wilcox]

A useful note with the new [declare] -path and -lib updates: if you prepend the local paths with explicit ./ or ../, then the searching will stop after looking relative to the patch. This way you can avoid loading system wide or user search path libs first. Of course, you can't override already loaded libs of the same name but it's meant to make sure self contained projects can avoid being polluted by other copies of the same lib.

I find the externals that I need and that work. Then, I just copy the externals to my patch dir to keep things in order. This way I know exactly what I have and I can redistribute the files between computers.
