[PD-dev] pdmtl abstractions breaking builds

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Just having a link in the pure-data SVN to the pdmtl abstractions  
isn't really useful from my experience. I think it would be more  
useful to import pdmtl releases into the pure-data SVN.  But it seems  
that there aren't any pdmtl releases.

By just importing the latest pdmtl abstractions into Pd-extended, I  
think that will cause more problems that in solves.  I think it makes  
more sense to work out the details of a user-managed externals  
installation location, then the users can manage pdmtl there using  
SVN or whatever.

On Mac OS X since 0.39.3-extended, /Library/Pd is a such a location.   
Just put your code there and it is in the default path for objects  
and help files.  We just need to pick standard locations for GNU/ 
Linux and Windows, then add it to default preferences, then I think  
that will be the best solution for managing pdmtl with Pd-extended.

This really the direction that Pd-extended should be going on.  Only  
really stable things should be included, other things should be  
managed outside.  Ideally we'd have some kind of apt-get for Pd.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of  
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an  
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps  
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into  
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess  
himself of it.            - Thomas Jefferson
