STM CircleOS forum / Noob library question (Primer2)

Hi all,
I'm very new to the STM32 Primer 2, STMicro devices and 32-bit micros in general.
A week ago I got my first program working (just some messing around with blinking LEDs), but I was using the default software that came with my Primer 2, and I decided to download the latest software (CD_STM32-Primer_20110112.zip). There seem to be some slight differences with the libraries and I'm not sure where to find documentation explaining how to use them.
Is there a document explaining how to use them correctly?

I think the project I was using as a reference '#include'ed the 'stm32f10x_conf.h' file directly, but it looks like this is done through the 'stm32f10x.h' now. Is that correct?

Also, a general programming question... what is the correct method for including the various libraries? Should I 'add' them to the project? Use the #include statements? Should I copy them into my project file or is it better to leave them in the default library folder and let the compiler find them?

With the ST library since v3, only "stm32f10x.h" has to been included.
The library is provided with help documentation files that explain how to use it.
I think it's better to add all necessary files into your project, with keeping the file organization (CMSIS / ST files).
The configure the "stm32f10x_conf.h" depending on the peripheral you need, and the "stm32f10x.h" for your platform (µC family, system clock, HSE clock...).
