doing this in an svn repository will be so much more easy.

no not quite true.
1st of all, all the /externals would be compiled as usual. (nothing
changes here, just some things get added)
however /abstractions would be left out of pd-extended at first.
then you could just move the abstractions/Makefile as a temporary hack
to externals/Makefile.abstractions and call that from externals/Makefile
(the same with other stuff, which i am currently unaware that it is in
pd-extended: e.g. gripd(?))
this should be doable in one afternoon.

i see your point. that is why i always opposed to a monolithic
non-scalable build-system: it makes refactoring hard if not impossible.
fmasdr.
