fst is already able to load/save chunks. 
It sure as heck is.
  i dont have a full version of kontakt, so i cant
verify whether
 load/save works.  
Seems to work pretty well.  I haven't tested it real thorougly, but everything
looks to be in order.
The 1.8 -> 1.9 diff is not large.  Wish I knew my way around the VST stuff.
Things were underway to create a new (read: kontakt-ish) interface for chionic.
I would like to keep at that, I think, but kontakt is working quite well now.  I
guess I have to figure out what I have time for, exactly.
Thanks for taking the time to implement this, Torbenh.
thanks,
Forest
