The main problem I see with this approach is what happens when you 
'install' from a child directory.  You've tested with other blibs 
active, but I'm hearing people say an 'install' here should only 
install the child stuff, so there's a good chance things will be broken 
after installing since it tested with different sibling code.

I can think of a few solutions to this but none so far that seem to 
satisfy all the use cases.
