     Aitor, there is (at least) one problem with this. DOS (shell) provides
PATH for executables, which allows to abstract from precise executables
placement (I may place them in any directory on any disk, and batch files
remain same after I fix PATH). For libraries, there is no system-wide
support for their locating, and you in any case should fix your, say,
turboc.cfg to reflect precise library placement. To make case worser, for
different compilers (and even one compiler versions) usually should be
present different libraries. So, I doubt that system-wide LIB directory is
have sense at all in DOS.
