I am not thinking at all about libraries because I think that externals should be distributed as individual objects, and I plan on making that
yes, i know that, so that is why i have written point-2 (with "i guess that is what you are talking about")
One thing that I forgot to mention (which you did mention) is that you could also use the namespace to access these objects without adding anything to the path. For example, to use a deprecated object you would do this:
[deprecated/linuxjoystick /dev/input/event2]
So putting "../extra/deprecated" in the path would only be for porting the patch. Though this is much less necessary now that 0.38 will maintain the connections when an object can't be found.
there i just one thing i want to point at (and this is somewhat important to me, an _please_ do not shrug off my problems with "you are the only one who needs this, so we should stop this discussion" as i have the feeling with my rc-file requirements everytime it comes to this ;-)): please do not rely on the "-path" command-line flag. there are (certainly) a lot of situations where you can neither edit BAT-files nor rc-files for your need. (i mean, as a packager who does not know the exact layout of the end-user's system)
just to reinforce my point of view.
and upgrading with the -path options seems tolerable to me. although i don't think that the connection-maintainance of 0.38 substitutes this: i mean, when you open your patch for the sole purpose of upgrading then it is surely ok, but most probably people would just keep their old patches running...
