[PD-dev] loading externals on android (pddroidparty, mobmuplat, ...)

[Chris McCormick]

Hi IOhannes,

I am not sure if it's still the case but at one time Android would not 
allow dynamically loaded libraries from storage. So there were vague 
plans to have the application copy all dlls into the data dir of the app 
itself before launching the patch but those never happened. Patches welcome!

Cheers,

Chris.
