Putting developer header files into the common location:
c:\apps\include\zlib\
 
    is symlink’d to  
 
c:\apps\include\zlib-1.2.3\
    which is in turn symlink’d to  
 
c:\apps\.installed\coapp\zlib\1.2.3\include
 
 
Putting developer libraries into the common location:
c:\apps\lib\zlib-
 
    is symlink’d to  
 
c:\apps\.installed\coapp\grep\1.6.7\grep.exe
