I think it would work currently if you just replace PixelTANGO.app with  
Pd-0.38-4-extendedRC0.app in the /Applications/PixelTANGO folder.  But  
it would be awesome if the absolute path stuff could be fixed so it  
could become part of the standard distros, including Windows and  
GNU/Linux.

That's what I am working towards...  I want to wrap it up for now since  
I am sunk many days into it recently.  After that, I probably won't  
make another release until 0.39 is stable.  Of course, anyone else is  
welcome to, its all in CVS.  The more, the merrier...

I had the same thought.  It'd be ugly, but it'd work.  Maybe it'd be  
good for a temporary solution.  Even better would be to update the  
debian package stuff to be integrated into a cross-platform build  
system.  Also, it would be very helpful if the PlanetCCRMA RPM code was  
in packages/planetccrma_rpm.  Then that could be integrated as well.  I  
tried to get Nando from CCRMA and Marc Lavalee to upload their stuff,  
but it never happened.

I've been meaning to pull out the cross-platform parts of  
packages/darwin_app/Makefile and make a cross-platform  
packages/Makefile so that there would be a standard layout of installed  
stuff.
