I need a little more help here... how does this relate to the folder
/Programs/Foo/Variable? Your comment about the Settings folder makes
me think it would be moved from Resources to the root directory of
that program, but I can't get that to happen:

I tried creating the folder
/F/C/LocalRecipes/Foo/y.z/Resources/Variable/test/ in the recipe
folder of a program that didn't have a Variable folder before and
compiling that version, but afterward the /Programs/Foo/Variable
folder still did not exist. The folder only existed under
/Programs/Foo/y.z/Resources/Variable. Was this intended? This folder
is not linked into /System/Variable, and FindUtils is configured to
look at /Programs/FindUtils/Variable for its databases, so I don't see
what use it is to have it just under Resources instead.
