Best place to put third-party DLLs for referencing

I'm working on a project that is stored in SVN. The project has a dependency on a third-party DLL, so it will need to have a reference to that DLL.

Where is the best place to store this DLL so that anyone who opens the project from SVN can compile it?

Usually I create a lib subfolder to the root and place all third-party assemblies there. Then all the projects reference the assemblies from this location. That way the project is self-contained and the third-party assemblies are versioned along with the source code.
