Summary: Add a new Pd command line option, -autoload

Initial Comment:
I got tired of using the "-lib" option over and over, so I wrote a new option, "-autoload".

This option allows you to specify a directory of externals.  All externals found in this directory, and any sub-directories, will be automatically loaded.  So, you can run pd using something like ...

$ pd -autoload /usr/lib/pd/extra

or a non-default location of externals where some have just been compiled, for example ...

$ pd -autoload ~/src/pure-data/pd/extra

So far, the patch has only been tested on Linux.
