The location of the library matters only to the project.  Once your application
is running, there's no way it "knows" where any of its source files,
including libraries, may have resided on your disk.  Or even where the THINK
C Folder is, for that matter.  I don't know what these files of yours are
like, but if you can't turn their contents into resources, and you don't want
them in the same folder as the application, maybe you could put them into the
System Folder, perhaps in a Preferences folder?
