[PD-dev] Pdplay?

[Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999]

you could package your own distro of PD and your patches with a 
fancy installed and a nice shortcut/link/alias to open PD with the 
proper options and your patch. Another possibility.

somwhat related, there is something called tclkit which is a 
self-contained single exe tcl/tk distro. Maybe something like that 
for PD? Would make the above a bit easier... (does it have to be 
multiplatform?)
