i have a library of shared code that i want VS to find in a search path.

i've tried putting the shared code into it's own project, so its builds into
it's own assembly dll. For every solution i then manually add the library
project to my solution.

Problem is that the path to the library solution on my machine is different
than the path to the library solution on another machine.

It would be nice if VS just had a list of paths where it can look for code
files, and each developer can one-time configure the paths in VS for their
own machine.

Those paths would then used by Visual Studio itself when trying to build any
and all solutions.


Note: i'm not talking about GAC
Note: i'm not talking about copying a DLL into a search path
Note: i'm not talking about copying (or using VSS to share) source code
files into my solution tree.
