title: What is the equivalent of /usr/lib/ on Windows?
body: <p>I am creating a cross-platform program that depends on libxml2. I do not want to use a POSIX environment such as Cygwin or MSYS on the Windows port of the app. I am planning to create a system of build scripts using Javascript Host for Windows and nmake. But, the question arose of where the build system should look for libxml2. In what locations should it look when the user does not specify a location? On Linux, it is usually /usr/lib/ and /usr/local/lib/. But on Windows, the only place that comes to mind is C:\Windows\system32. But isn't that directory only modified by the system? (I obviously know next to nothing about the internals of Windows)</p>
