i have always wondered why there is just .dll, and no .pd_win or .pd_nt 
or whatever, similar to pd_darwin.
Just having done some short tests, doesn't seem to be a reason for that, 
as everything is working ok. Clearly the pd loader would have to be 
extended.
To my mind, it's advantageous to be able to use both the native shared 
library extensions (like .so, .dylib, .dll) and custom pd ones.
The former to easily use it with dynamic linking and the latter to 
resolve name clashes....

greetings,
Thomas
