Don't apologize.  You're absolutely correct.  The way Swarm is
configured is not the best way of doing things.  The libraries
were, I think, intended to stay close to the source, which means
I don't think it was designed to put the libraries
in some standard lib directory.  Same with includes.

However, for a serious Swarm user, that would not be a bad
idea (except for the make realclean option) and we should change
this.  Properly, we should have a configure; make dep; make clean;
make install; process just like the standard packages.  But, we're
just not there, yet.

For the time being, consider putting the Swarm libs and includes
in the Swarm source directory tree and I'll work on a new installation
and compile process when I can.
