Where to Store Libraries and Other Files in 2.7?

Thanks, David. I think that's the clue I was looking for. I was sort of
heading in that direction. In pre-2.7 days, I've allowed myself to become
sloppy, putting stacks and other files in the Rev folder to avoid dealing
with pathing issues when I'm basically fooling around rather than
developing. Then, of course, the fooling around turns into development and
the pathing isn't straightened out but it all works OK because when I build
the standalone, the path references to the standalone app are essentially
parallel to the default pathing in the iDE. But 2.7 clearly is going to
force me to be more disciplined.
