Using the "pd" afterwards means that they will sort alphabetically  
nicely.  So how about this for the standard:

lua.pd_linux
[import lua]
project name: luapd

tcl.pd_linux
[import tcl]
project name: tclpd

Also, what about having a 'loaders' section of SVN?  Either 'trunk/ 
loaders' or 'trunk/externals/loaders'?  Then perhaps we don't need  
the 'pd' in the folder name:

trunk/loaders/clr
trunk/loaders/hex
trunk/loaders/libdir
trunk/loaders/lua
trunk/loaders/pd
trunk/loaders/tcl

.hc
