Hello,

the syntactic form (import ...) needs the relevant import libraries to
be present at compile time, the actual "implementation libraries" do
not have to be installed during compilation and can be loaded at
runtime using the procedure (require ...) from the library unit, for
example.

Ciao,
Thomas
