Which leads me to a question I always wanted to ask, but never dared to.
What should be done on platforms that support more than one architecture,
like linux or macosx ?
Obvioulsy a xxx.pd_linux from a powerpc machine is not usable on a
pentium, which makes bundling impossible. One would need a
pd_linux_368, pd_linux_ppc, etc ...
