My solution to this is not to create a library *file* (like NukMed.pro) with all the
goodies but a library *directory* (like ~/pvandelst/idl/NukMed) which contains all the
_separate_ files. The directory, which is beneath the idl directory, is then automagically
added to my IDL_PATH environment variable because I do a: export
IDL_PATH=$IDL_PATH:+\${HOME}/idl

Anything below ${HOME}/idl is tacked on the end of the path.
