A dot-dir is not very portable. At first I like the name install/ but then it dawned on me that it is very common for installations to have a file called INSTALL, so a directory called install would not work too well on platforms that are case insensetive (DOS, Mac OS). Unfortunately this same argument goes against similar names like build. So I dont have any better suggestion other than something like privlib. Graham.
