Another question that comes to mind is the name space issue. I have an external in LyonPotpourri called adsr~. So does MaxMSP. But there's no clash because all of my externals in MaxMSP are compiled with a prefix, in this case
el.adsr~. If many different packages are to be coordinated, it would be nice to have a similar convention to address this issue in Pd. (Hopefully not an ugly one like making me change all my files to el_adsr~.c and so forth.)
