[Cuis-dev] search path for packages

[Ezequiel Birman]

See Cuis Directory Structure: DirectoryEntry projectBaseDirectory
<https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/blob/master/Documentation/CuisDirectoryStructure.md#directoryentry-projectbasedirectory>
.

Also take a look at the scripts clonePackageRepos.sh and pullAllRepos.sh
which are provided to help you update well-known packages, and Cuis itself.

If you debug Feature require: #something, after some Intos, Overs, and
Throughs you'll end up in FeatureRequirement>>placesToLookForPackagesDo:,
(you could go the other way around and ask for the senders of
placesToLookForPackagesDo:, and then ask for the sender senders, and so on
until you arrive at Feature >> require:, but debugging is foolproof).
