But at least it helps if I know that ANY lib would be in certain path, and I can adjust all my makefiles to it. It is even worse if I have to be manually tunning makefiles everytime I download new version for libraries.
A third option would be: ok, make both LIB and their H files under SOURCE, but at least, allow to define some standard path as: SOURCE\LIB SOURCE\INC for that.
