Good point, and I think that's a good solution to it as well.  The only
drawback I see is that adding the root directory means you lose some of the
separation between the files that are to be included and those that are not. 
Do you think it would be worth doing something like this to keep it?

  root/library/oll/filename.ily

Users would add the library directory (limits access to just includable
files), and it only contains the oll directory (provides namespace).  

Just an idea, not sure if the extra directory is worth it or not.

The rest of what you wrote all sounds fine to me.

Cheers,
