LOL - I'd been doing the opposite, checking for "MetaCard Menu Bar". :)

Of course now that we have a Plugin Manager with a way to automatically 
load a stack as a library, one can easily add a plugin for any such 
initialization needed.

But you raise a good point:  would there be any harm in having libURL 
automatically loaded?

I can't think of any.  Unless someone tells me not to I'm inclined to 
have it do so....
