Yeah, this is more or less what I'm doing. The issue is that I still need to define the directory structure somewhere. Zach suggests defining it manually which is probably the best solution but unfortunately isn't really an option for what I'm doing. What would be ideal is if light would handle a duplicate symbol definition if the symbols are identical (same ID and attributes, etc.) by outputting the symbol once instead of choking. Of course, there may be good reasons I haven't thought of not to do that - I'm not sure. I'm hoping that someone has solved the same problem in a manner that avoids this problem.
