but when you are using many-objects-per-file libs (like i do, btw),
then you usually only have the need to load a few libraries, so the
use of the autoloader is not that big.

you can also use [library] to load larger object libs, or [declare]
what might be more useful than the "-autoload" thing is to accept
wildcards in the libraries.
e.g. "-lib iem*" would load iemlib1, iemlib2, iem_mp3, iem_t3,
iemmatrix and whatelse (but then: how do you only load the "iem*"
library :-))
if you have added "/tmp/mylibs" to your path and only want to load ALL
the libs in ./extra, you would probably have to do something weird
like "-lib ../extra/*"
(but probably i am thinking to complicated know) - it's easier if you
do it the other way round "-lib /tmp/mylibs/*"
now it is me who is thinking aloud.
