A couple.  It seems that looking in set definition files is closer to 
"From this Course" than to "Local Problems" since it is essentially 
non-imported set definition files.  But, I wouldn't put it with any of 
the existing parts and instead make it a fourth standard option along 
with "Problem Library", "Local Problems", and "From this Course".  Most 
people probably use a window which can fit 4 wide buttons, right?

A natural name might be "From Set Definition Files", but knowing what a 
set definition file means may not be clear to someone not familiar with 
webwork 1.

Files at the top of directories like rochesterLibrary, unionLibrary, 
etc. might need special treatment.  If your name to the Rochester 
Library is called rochesterLibrary, then all of the paths accessing 
those files will start with rochesterLibrary.  If another person names 
the link Rochester, then none of those set definition files will work.  
So, by special treatment, I mean some sort of munging of the paths to 
account for this.

To fit what Nandor wanted, he may want more depth in the searching for 
the set definition files.  For example, maybe he would want to have 
courses created with a symlink to a directory called Sets, which has 
subdirectories MAT_110, MAT_111, etc., each of which has his 
university's standard sets for those courses.

Anyway, those are the thoughts I had off the top of my head.
