found it now.... I guess the reason why I was battling to find it is because I can't find a damn thing anymore since Windows Vista Search came along...

If you are using source control, I would put your Microsoft.SharePoint.dll DLL into a seperate folder named something like lib, along with your other 3rd party DLLs, and add your project references to there. That way, when a developer gets the source code, the references won't be broken if their environment is set up differently.

I can't imagine a SharePoint developer developing on a machine that doesn't have SharePoint installed... But valid point nonetheless
It's good to remove the environmental dependencies though, and applies to not just sharepoint dlls.

The name of the base SharePoint DLL is

Microsoft.SharePoint.dll

and it's normally located in

c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\ISAPI
