David,

Thanks for a sensational answer to my question! Great detail, very 
informative.

I've seen the $: << construct; can you say a little about why it's much 
better than putting the path directly in the require?

My guess is that the path appears only once in the $: line so if it 
changes you don't have to go changing a whole bunch of requires. Yes, or 
is there something else more important?

Thanks
