Where Should One Place Third Party Libraries?
<p>This may seem a bit ridiculous to ask, but I'm struggling to find a good system for this.  Are there any standardized systems for storing and organizing third party development libraries?  I'm plagued with OCD and consider myself to be a "neat-freak," so I tend to use tons of directories/subdirectories for organizing items, but since I'm a newer developer, I just recently started dabbling with 3rd party libraries and I'm not sure how to go about organizing them.  I would use a ton of folders and make a huge hierarchy, but doing that may result in some extremely long absolute paths in the <code>#includes</code> of my source code.  Any suggestions?</p>
