actually, it does not load an mp module, it only adds the right 
initialization code to let mp load the module

normally

\startMPinclusions
   input boxes
\stopMPinclusions

should be ok; a more general scheme (something loadMPmodule) is only needed 
when we also have to do a lot of related context interfacing (like with 
graph, where these is this text along axis stuff)

When we run into more modules, we can set up a system for that, but first 
we need to get a clear picture of demands;
