Could you elaborate a bit how this works, especially in regard to
possible nameclashes e.g. in pd-extended? Those currently are worked
around by having the libraries in different subdirectories? Example:
Both maxlib and zexy have incompatible versions of [urn], so if you
install maxlib and zexy in "extra" and use "-autoload extra", won't
you have in fact circumvented the directory-namespace system?

Ciao
