Summary: class loader hook

Initial Comment:
Hi all,
i'd like to propose a loader hook functionality, so
that external logic can be used if the loading of a PD
external binary object has failed.
This opens up two possibilites:
1) it allows to use external objects written in
languages other than C (above all scripting languages)
which cannot provide an exposed class_setup function to
be used in the same way as traditional C-coded externals.
2) it allows to create external object functionality
more dynamically, since the exact name need not be
known (and fixed into binary) beforehand.

The attached patch is for s_loader.c. The sys_loader
function would still have to be exposed in m_pd.h
