i didnt realise this... are there any problems with dropouts and the 
like with using -path for large externals?  so far i always use -lib for 
all my externals, but if there isnt any problem with dynamically loading 
up the .dll's as i use them i'll probably switch to that if only to 
speed up my pd startup time.
