+/* This loader opens a directory as a library.  In the long run, the idea is
+ * that one folder will have all of objects files, all of the related
+ * *-help.pd files, a file with meta data for the help system, etc.  Then to
+ * install the lib, it would just be dropped into extra, or the path anywhere.
+ *
+ * Ultimately, the meta file will be read for meta data, specifically for
+ * the auto-generated Help system, but for other things too.  Right now,
+ * its just used as a marker that a directory is meant to be a library.
+ * Plus its much easier to implement it this way, I can use
+ * open_via_path() instead of writing a new function.  The grand plan is
+ * to have one directory hold the objects, help files, manuals,
+ * etc. making it a self-contained library. <hans@at.or.at>
