It need to be either be in the OOo install set or in the OOo SDK install set.
Unless you operate it out completely as you suggest here:

Which still would work with an installed OOo.

Eh, no, you seem to misunderstand. The OOo build and OOo packages do nothing
with gengal - except installing it (at least for Debian (openclipart source
packages) , I know SUSE does it different and calls it after the OOo build).
In both scenarios, though, the gallery files get built and installed in
to OOos dirs. in separate packages if needed (Debian: 
openclipart-openoffice.org)

It's used like the SDK external tools. There's no "modifying an installed OOo".
And if you won't allow  that, how do you register clipart for the gallery
without needing to make the user do it hhimself or do it yourself when 
packaging?




 hrm, this could be, in ooo-build we have brand + basis in the same dir
(e.g. /usr/lib/openoffice) with the usual basis-link and ure-link dirs.
(basis-link -> basis3.0). 
Maybe it just works by chance in ooo-build because of this?

AFAIK, the only reliable paths on the 3-layer OOo are when they are accessed via
the link, which are intact..
