When making the package build systems for Windows and MacOS X, the  
Makefiles need to reference things in all of those directories.  Some  
developers have been putting things in different places, making it  
difficult to have one centralized build system.  So I am putting this  
doc out there to try to get everyone on the same page in terms of how  
the Pd directories are laid out.

A good example is needing to reference either the pd src directory or  
the bin binary (i.e. -bundle_loader ../../../pd/bin/pd) or  
packages/darwin_app/Makefile calling make in each of the different  
directories and copying files from them.
