Exactly, drag the whole skeleton with costraints and put it the
browser.

And here's another tip to all animators out there!

Save your custom constraints as named .cbr files. Like
LeftHipConstraint.cbr or knee.cbr Much easier to just load them
whenever you need them. Only requirements are carrara3 or newer and
that you have to always create your characters at same orientation.
I.e Face is towards x/y/z axis, whatever you choose. Mine are always
looking at you in the Left viewport or looking down in top vp.

Saveable presets in cbr files are way too unused powerfeature in cs3.
