Where do you guys store 3rd party (and your own) components?

Do you keep separate copies per Delphi version?

For years I've been using c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\, even for Delphi 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010, like this:

c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\AggPas\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\DeHL\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\DevExpress\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\FastCode\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\FastMM\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\Fundamentals\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\Graphics32\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\JCL\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\JVCL\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\OmniThread\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\Raize\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\TeeChartPro\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\TurboPower\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\VirtualTreeView\
c:\program files\borland\delphi7\lib\Zeos\

However, nowadays I don't even use Delphi7 anymore (what can it do that 2010 can't?), so this path doesn't make much sense anymore. I'm about to install windows7 on my home machine, so I'm thinking on something like this:

c:\src\DelphiLib\

Any better ideas?
