With dssi~ there's no need to specify the absolute path and library
name. You should just be able to do:

[dssi~ gverb]

Failing that, if the library is in LADSPA_PATH or one of the standard
paths, this should always work:

[dssi~ gverb_1216.so:gverb]

dssi~ also looks in Pd's search path, so you can put plugins in an
arbitrary location and then tell dssi~ where to find them with:

[declare -path /foo/bar]

or

[declare -stdpath /foo/bar]

Basically, you should *never* need to specify the full path as an
argument to dssi~. It works, but it's deprecated in favour of declare.
