Description
Currently the MDL library source is stored in sources/MaterialXGenMdl/mdl and then copied the MaterialX library install location.
Would be cleaner if they just lived in the same location as the rest of the library data.

Research direction
Start by comparing sources/MaterialXGenMdl/mdl with the libraries folder and trace where the MDL source is copied to the MaterialX library install location. Check the build and installation entry points that reference these paths. Done means the MDL library source lives with the other library data and the existing installation result remains correct.
