The 'pd -path' and 'pd -lib' things are a bit muddled conceptually the
way they are sometimes used. The concept should be something like:
-path - a folder to load libraries, externals, etc. from
-lib - load a library into the global namespace.
IMHO, a library loaded with 'pd -lib' should do eveything needed to be
fully loaded. gridflow has done this for a while, libdir is another
approach. Gem seems to have the code to do this, but its not always
enabled. I think this should always be enabled with Gem too.
