first of all this is not a Pkg problem, but a problem of BinDeps to resolve 
the path to local shared objects (e.g. .so on linux). The deps.jl file is 
written in the build process (Pkg.build) by calling BinDeps with the 
build.jl. Consult the BinDeps documentation for options. One thing: You 
could technically just patch a deps.jl file with your path(s). But then run 
into problems with Pkg.update etc.
