[PD] Pd-extended 0.43 builds are working again

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

As far as I know, the latency setting in Pd just sets a maximum buffer  
size, it doesn't necessarily translate to actual measured latency.   
Try a blind test and see if you can tell the difference, that'll be a  
much better test.

As for the search paths, you are much better of not setting them as  
global preferences.  Instead, use the standard install locations for  
installing things globally:

And for paths needed for patches/projects, use [declare -path].
