Hmm, can any of the other developers on the list share some insights on
what is the proper etiquette here? In MacPerl 4, I included ObjSupportLib 
directly in the application. This is not really the point of shared libraries,
and apparently Netscape was not amused on some machines. Accordingly, I 
did what I thought was the right thing in MacPerl5, and again, I'm getting
into trouble (with the same Netscapegoat, apparently).

So, can any other developers advise me:

 - Should I Merge ObjSupportLib into the application?
 - Should I install in into the system folder?
 - Should I install it in the application folder?
 - Any other advice?
