[moved from gmane.os.cygwin]

I want to add some components to the default xfig libraries. I want to put
them where they'd ultimately go (/usr/lib/xfig/Libraries/newstuffdir). But I
cant find the resource or file that determines the path to the libraries
available to xfig. It's not specified in /etc/X11/app-defaults/Fig where I'd
expect it to be. $XFIGLIBDIR is not set. It's not in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.
I can't add anything to the library without access to that resource (or
file). I know I can use the -library_dir switch but I want my stuff to show
up in the default menus. 
So where is the resource/file I edit to add my library?

I don't really know anything about xfig, so perhaps you can clarify a 
few things for me?

Are you asking if that path is correct (it seems to be)? Or are you 
asking how to discover that path programmatically?

I think the idea of XFIGLIBDIR is for you to set it to override the default.
