Add more visual effects to iChat and Photo Booth

I don't have a /System/Library/Compositions Folder. Where does it come from? Is it in a default installation or did you something special to get it?
I do have a Compositions folder somewhere in /Development containing examples, which came with XCode. But it seems to be a different set of effects.

In addition to my previous comment:
Is it possible, that this is kind of a "Tiger-Only" hint?
I just checked all my Macs. The folder only appeared on machines that originally came with Tiger and where upgraded later on. My younger Leopard and Snow Leopard machines do not contain this folder.

I do have a /System/Library/Compositions folder on Snow Leopard. I verified that it was installed by the Essentials.pkg from the SL disk.

Do you use a language other than English as your system language?
The folder's name is localized, so e.g. in a German Mac OS X, it would be "Kompositionen" instead of "Compositions".
