Yes.  There are two ways to do this.  You can either create a euinc.conf
file with a list of directories, or specify directories right on the
command line with the -i switch before the file:

 $ exu -i ~/foo app.exu

There's additional (possibly somewhat out of date) information about using
euinc.conf files here:

It is the fact that we require 4.0 to do this that has caused some difficulties
with building on a system with only 3.x installed.  I *think* these issues
have been solved.
