My little conflict with Kat (no hard feelings, OK?) about including or not
including 3rd party-libraries with your programs/libraries, gave me an idea: the
Euphoria Library Manifest.

When you create a program or library that needs 3rd party-libraries that are not
included, you should include a text-file in your ZIP-file:
elm.txt:
--- START FILE ---
Euphoria Library Manifest
These libraries are necessary, but not included in the package:
- Win32Lib (Derek Parnell), version 0.60.1:
http://www.users.bigpond.com/ddparnell/euphoria/euphoria.htm
- EuControls (Tommy Carlier), version 1.0.1:
http://users.pandora.be/tommycarlier/eu
--- END FILE ---

If everybody uses this mechanism, people will have less problems finding all the
necessary components.
The lines that describe the necessary libraries, look like this:
- Name (Author), version x.y: url
(version should be the version the product was developed/tested with)
If a "format" like this is used, perhaps even automated processing would be
possible.
