Currently there are no options. All paths are linked into user 
profiles/environments (but for a few hard-coded exceptions).

I plan some work on allowing to exclude some files from linking into 
user/system envs, but I can't say when or if ever that will be pushed.

As for search paths... for the purpose of being in build inputs of other 
packages, one can define hooks that modify the environment of the 
builder (e.g. extend PATH, add library search paths). No such 
(automatic) option exists for user/system profiles (yet).
