Yeah, that's a good point. Having to grab it from ELSE is not a good
advice, though, since as part of ELSE I can't do [declare -lib
fluidsynth]. I'd have to [declare -path else] for non-obvious reasons.
I don't think that nesting libraries is good practice and it might
confuse  people searching stuff through Deken.

I see your point of having everything nicely integrated. If I'd feel
strong enough about this I could upload separate packages for
fluidsynth.
