If you want to provide the path to the revlib entry or create it in
a particular path, then every time that arch needed a library, it should
call the hook.

I'm thinking ahead ;)

You can do it in any moment, but if you build a script to manage
libraries, I think that looks like the better place to automate it.
If you look at the name of the procedure arch_find_or_make_local_copy,
you'll see that it does not distinguish one case from the oher. When you
need a local copy, find it or make it!
