How do the proposed solutions compare when the other drive is unmounted?  For 
example, suppose I owned only one computer, a laptop, and the external drive is 
only mounted when I'm home?

What I would *want* is if I launch iTunes and the drive is not there, it gives 
me an error.  If iTunes is already running and I unmount the drive, I want 
iTunes to see that as an error too.  But I seem to recall cases where a bogus 
directory would be created like 
/Volumes/MyExternalDrive/my/path/to/iTunes/library.  It was a long time ago, so 
maybe it wasn't iTunes specifically that had this problem, but I've been 
gun-shy ever since about offloading the directories used by iTunes, iPhoto, etc.
