You can put it in ./lib under the app's working directory and it will
find it fine. The runtime loader will look in ./lib, then
~/config/lib, then /boot/common/lib and last but not least
/boot/system/lib for a match, in that order, assuming you haven't
modified the library path environment var manually.
