I have a library that needs to start a new Dart process with a script located in the library. The script must be in bin/ or another dir with a packages link so that package: imports work, but if it's outside of lib/ I can't access it.

This sounds like a job for... Bartender!

In seriousness, this seems really hard to do right now but really easy with a library that knows where your pub cache is and what it looks like.

I agree. When I chatted with Justin about this, I said a pub/bartender API that lets you programmatically work with the pub cache would help a lot here.
