I think you and Larry are right.

I'd prefer to keep a separate library of symlinked files.  That way, the
unofficial library stays clean.  And I don't have to change any of the
existing scripts that read through the unofficial library.

So, when a new file comes into the unofficial library, a symlink is
created in the symlibrary.  When a new version of an unofficial file is
received, no change to the symlink is necessary.  When a file is made
official, the symlink is replaced with a symlink to the official file.
When a fix to an official file is received, the symlink is changed to
point to the unofficial file.  No problem.

I didn't see anything in the LDLite 2.4 when I looked yesterday.  Sorry.
