EXSManager from Redmatica.com solves this problem easily.  It goes out and
relinks your EXS instruments to the correct samples and ends the searching
everytime they load.  Cuts down load time dramatically.  It is also
extremely fast at the relink process, usually only seconds, unlike Project
Manager.
