SPUG: dynamic 'use lib'

[Daryn Nakhuda]

yeah, i'm hoping to leave it as a 'use' though, so I don't have to go 
through and change the rest of the code (add qualifications to the calls, 
etc). 

i'm trying to make a more generic version of a pretty large application, 
and one of the things i wanted to genericize is the libpath. 

since use is compile-time, I didn't figure what I was trying would work, 
but was wondering if there might be any other way to accomplish the same 
thing..

thanks.
