Description

Today I did an update that included Wysiwyg API and reCAPTCHA. These are both modules that require you to download components from elsewhere and put them somewhere within the module's directory.

The new version of Wysiwyg API that I installed today no longer wants you to put your editor, say, FCKeditor, in sites/all/modules/wysiwyg, instead, it looks for FCKeditor in sites/all/libraries (which is new to me!). This makes a lot of sense, though, because when I upgrade Wysiwyg API I'm probably not replacing FCKeditor.

I wonder if the same thing would make sense for this module--putting the reCAPTCHA library in sites/all/libraries so that you don't have to replace it (or *remember* to replace it) when you upgrade the module.

Thanks for a great module--we run a library site and we really like that we can use reCAPTCHA on it.

For sure would love to support sites/all/libraries/recaptcha, but think it should wait for Libraries API or when drupal_get_path() gets the ability to load from that directory.
