You know, a customizable library wouldn't be that much of a nightmare. In fact, it could make things a lot simpler for developers. Consider this; there are really only two types of library file in Poser: Those which call geometry and those which do something to the geometry. That's why the P4/PP trick of putting poses into the Camera and Hand libraries works. Hair and Props are pretty much interchangeable, too, athough some hair would sit better in Figures but that's a pretty silly distintction between an object with bones and one without them. The only fixed references you need are Geometries and Textures. If a developer has these paths correct, their own folder could sit pretty much anywhere. Think about how many times you have moved MAT poses without the world exploding. It seems the only other files which get really upset about being moved are the Delta Refs. So, my reasoning is, it could be done quite easily by having one subcategory for geometry based files (Characters, Hair, Props and so forth) and another subcategory for modifier (pose, MAT etc) files. Leave the rest entirely up to the user.
