How do I load additional extension load paths that are possibly located  
somewhere else on my server? Is that even possible?

Arik,

By default, Radiant uses extension paths from your project and from the  
Radiant source (either in vendor or the gem). To add a path to be  
searched for extensions, add this line inside the initialization block  
in config/environment.rb:

config.extension\_paths \<\< “/path/to/your/extensions”

Subdirectories of that path will be searched for extensions.
