[PD-dev] pd 0.37 and help patches

hi,

it seems now, with 0.37, that pd cannot find usual help files
because it systematically prepends "help-" to the searched file,
mm, that's annoying for the tons of objects that
register their own help files in separate directory like
pidip/my-help-file.pd.

from s_path.c :
    strcpy(realname, "help-");

results into :

 > tried /usr/local/pd-0.37-test7/pidip/help-help_pdp_imgloader.pd and 
failed
 > tried 
/usr/local/pd-0.37-test7/doc/5.reference/help-help_pdp_imgloader.pd and 
failed
 > sorry, couldn't find help for "help_pdp_imgloader.pd"

sorry, but the error message is even wrong.
i'd rather this rule be removed
if you don't mind.

cheers,
sevy
