cx
cx/classes
cx/classes/databases
cx/classes/twurkalators

rk
rk/classes
rk/classes/forensics
rk/classes/astrocartography


then your include options would search all users' offered libraries  
and report :

cx/classes/databases
cx/classes/twurkalators
rk/classes/forensics
rk/classes/astrocartography

then some thing where you can list all the possible class libs and  
set a + -
sorry, i'm not the best person to advise on this : isn't there a new  
include/exclude system in place now ?

same thing for help libs, instr etc.

i would just be concerned with having a very large list of paths that  
Help and Instr must search through.
Help especially should load all the paths when it *initClass, then  
lookup is fast after that.  I hate that rolling ball while it  
searches.  If I add a new file (rare) then I just hit recompile.
downside : slower startup time
it could do it on the first usage of Help / Instr. etc.

well if its under source control then you don't want to drag them  
anywhere.  they really need to sit in place so that you can update an  
individual folder or the whole user lib quickly.
