[MTOS-dev] thrid party code, extlib, dependencies

[Mark Carey]

Hi Steve,

Contrary to some documentation [1], placing things in
/mt/plugins/MyPlugin/extlib/ doesn't work.  At least it didn't work in
MT 4.01.  I am not sure if this was fixed in MT 4.1.  For now you may
have to put the external libs in /mt/extlib/.
