Actually I wasn't referring to preloading and I don't care about the
memory waste (which is minor), but to the "virtual library loading" that
pd-extended does with its libdir loading or path settings.  IIRC that
was, what you and many others were complaing about when it was broken
on their systemsa.

Most of the libraries in pd-extended are built as single externals, and
for abstraction libraries like list-abs bundles aren't possible anyway.
