[PD-dev] writing loaders for the new loader system

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Now that Thomas' loader patch is included in pd core, I'd like to try  
my hand at writing a loader.  Its quite simple, as far as I can tell,  
to write an alternate loader that loads compiled C objects, but I don't  
see how to do it for other languages, like Java.  What's the plan for  
having other languages access the Pd API?

Also, it seems to me that ultimately everything should be loaded using  
loader functions on the loader queue, including traditional libs, dlls,  
and abstractions.  That would make it quite clean, then there would  
also be the possibility of reordering the loaders.
