In my opinion, dynamic search-paths are a bad idea:

SLIB resolves library paths at the end of library installation.

Files named "usercat" in directories containing source-code

of modules which can override the system libraries, if desired.

The SLIB system works well and quickly, avoiding the problems
described in my blog.
