With the currently proposed patch it should already be added even 
without touching LIB_DIRS, since the `find` command used doesn't limit 
the depth.  And adding it to LIB_DIRS would cause it to be added to 
provides= twice, unless the list is filtered later on in makepkg.

They just won't be added to depends= automatically unless added to LIB_DIRS.
