How can i create an archive to install a new lib?

I've done some searching. Found current component. But there was said that it can't install new libs cause they are installed by the core. I wonder how? I looked through install system of Joomla! & found that you can't install files outside the component/module folder.

thats not true you can install them anywhere with this in the installation xml file:

Code: Select all

<files folder="path/to/files">
		<folder>controllers</folder>
	</files>

I still can't make what i want. Is archive name a "magic" name? When my archive starts with com_ i'm unable to install anything outside com_ folder. Right?

Still actual. Have anybody really made a Joomla package which install files into root Joomla folder and/or into "libraries" folder? Can you provide a sample?
