that would be so one might have a different gui look for each of their
patchs. or could distribute a gui-plug specific to their patch with
their patches, etc.

in my case im using the gui-plugs to make my patch look like some
absrtacted, glitch, unusable mess... but then if i leave it in the
standerd path every patch i would open would be like that there for if
i could [declare] the path to the gui-plug then i wouldn't have to
worry about it. only that one patch would have those properties....

i agree hence the "in patch" gui-plugin loading....

hmmmm
