That's a tricky thing to do, it's much simpler if you add the library at
the top level instead (i.e., DevCode/XXlib).  That's just:

        DevCode DevCode &XXlib

If you really want it at a lower level, you have to define a special
module for it that specifies the directory to check out into:

        DevCodeXXlib -d PrimeSieve/XXlib XXlib
        DevCode DevCode &DevCodeXXlib
