knot!

one autoexec.sas, per folder

C:\SAS-projects\ProjA

C:\SAS-projects\ProjA\sas   libref points to sibling folder:

C:\SAS-projects\ProjA\sas7b

You missed the point about the environment variable:
like an autoexec, you can have a SASv9.cfg in each project folder
which can have a DIFFERENT value of the environment variable
that you want to use in that project's programs
