I gather that Csound tries to load all standard plugins (and libraries?) at 
startup even if your .csd has no need of them - and issues WARNING messages 
(or worse) if it can't find them.

Then it seems that Csound will procede normally if said plugins are not 
actually required. However, it will be disastrous if expected libraries are 
not available.

Is this correct?
