Currently in dia each sheet of objects in the toolbox has to be defined by
a single library. The Circuit sheet for instance is completely loaded
from XML files.
There are some shapes that will probably never be able to be implemented
in XML (the ethernet bus in the networks sheet for instance). But still,
the custom shape code is a very easy way of adding shapes. The question
is, where to put these XML files. If we put them under
$(prefix)/share/dia/shapes, the custom shape code will create a second
networks or flowcharts sheet for those particular objects, which is not
what I wanted. The idea was to put them outside of the normal shape
search path, and that directory name seemed as good as any (if you have a
better name, then maybe we can use that).
