The meta file is required for a 'libdir' library. Other custom formats like Gem's or gridflow's perhaps don't require it. I say lobby Tom Erbe to include the meta file, and structure soundhack like a libdir. I'll happy answer any questions along those lines.

I imagine this is a wanted behaviour, but would like to confirm.
when using [import] to load a library which does not include the *-meta.pd file, such lib fails to be loaded. Ubuntu Lucid, Ubuntu Studio and Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7, with Pd-ext 0.42.5.
This happens for instance with Soundhack for Pure Data. If this is wanted, perhaps it could be handy and easy to include the *-meta.pd...
Will, what do you think?
I'm [import]ing a couple of those externals within the Xth Sense framework, but when students download the Soudhack externals, they have to manually add the meta file.
