This is a tough one.

Many of the libraries need to be duplicated form the original Arduino libraries because there has to be lots of changes. However some of them do not. These include LiquidCrystal, and Stepper. Libraries such as SPI must be duplicated because there are major changes in the library to support the different hardware architecture.

It would be nice to not have to duplicate the LiquidCrystal library and simply pull it in from the normal libraries folder. This would require the IDE to first look in the platform specific libraries folder and then if not found, look in the default libraries folder.

There may be other ways to do this, if you have any ideas, please post them here.
