Well, I think that this is application specific and not SOMELib specific.  Say
I wanted to end all my libraries with the extention .plug so that it can be
associated with a mime type?  In the current scheme I could do this but if you
enforce library extentions then this is not possible.  I did a test by creating a
soft link to one of the libraries in complexmenu.  It does load the lib 2 times.
I belive that to avoid this we should be checking if a library is already loaded
(Which I thought it did) and to not load it twice.  Perhaps we should give
libraries UID's.  I think that once wildcard (regular expression) matches and text
file loading are implemented a developer will have the option of restricting what
extentions are loaded.  Perhaps you would feel better if we restricted directory
loading so that you would have to supply a wildcard?  i.e. To load a entire
directory you would have to use Path p = "plugins/*" and not just Path p =
"plugins/"?  That way a developer would have to deliberatly say I want all files
in this directory no matter what.

On a side note, have you gotten the assignment operator to work?  It is a lot
nicer to say Path p="plugins/" instead of Path p; p.set("plugins/");  I don't know
why it was not working for me.
