Sorry, you are (mostly) correct. Again, this script is based on a layout
that I use, and when I check on the server I do indeed have duplications
in there - I could try claiming that this was to be able to have different
versions of these libraries for Windows, but I think it was mostly so that 
I had a self-contained set of directories that I could try and build from.
