But what if it is not in the expected location?

Library A' from vender A needs library B' from vender B.  Library A' 
has some notion where B' is and refers to it there.  Developer C puts 
B' in a different location and then makes the developer's app C' start 
using B' and then A'.  Should C expect this to work?

In general, the track goes like this:  What are common styles of stack 
organization that might be considered good practice?  What might a 
library supplier do as good practice to make a library easy to use in 
styles of stack organization?
