mhm, do we really need this in m_pd.h ?
Having it there means that externals should be able to add
a new helppath, and it will become part of the pd external
interface. I think it does not need to be.
If you need the declarations in different files within pd
Either

1) Put it in m_imp.h
2) Put a declaration on top of the file where you use the function.

Sorry about my ignorance, but isn't the help path relative to the
pd installation path ? Isn't the installation path the path that
should be changeable during runtime (together with the default externals
path "extra" and the bin directory) ?

I might be wrong, have to check before complaining actually ...
