The discussion about the MIDI management tools and the files that go with
them brings up an interesting question.  It seems that Apple is starting to
send out a lot of INIT's to extend functionality (i.e. MIDI & ADSP).  Are these
INIT's going to be integrated into sys 7 so the user does not have to clog his
system folder further?  If not, why?  ADSP and MIDI both load the actual driver
when needed, not at boot, so there is no overhead.  

This is a trivial question I know, but I ended up using ATP instead of ADSP
because of this.
