Dar,

Take this one step further by creating a generalized stack search 
handler that will look in several different folders, relative to the 
main app folder and/or in Rev's specialFolderPath locations, until 
the target stack is situated, and you have the startLibrary handler 
that ships with Serendipity Library.

Why allow multiple placement options for libraries & other files?:

1.  Some O/S environments dictate that modifiable files cannot exist 
in the same folder as the application.

2.  Some people might decide to place a library stack inside an OS X 
application bundle to achieve a monolithic structure, while other 
might chose to place the library in the folder containing the 
application bundle so it is visible to the user for replacement 
without opening the bundle itself.
