finfo is under the "examples" directory, and all of the loadable logic isn't 
exactly trivial to package.  it feels kind of bolted on, especially when you 
try to build & install things.  if we want the loadables to be more of a first
class concept than something people only play around with locally on their own
systems, this needs polishing.
