Then make it configurable in the makefile -- problem solved, and it will
work regardless. With your scheme, there are two version directories. With
mine, there is only one, and perhaps a symbolic link.

If a flag is set (or unset, whatever), resources use the package version for
their location. Otherwise, they use the interface version.
