I think, this is a very good idea and I'll stick it on my TODO list,
however I believe, that instead of a vanilla+libs bundle a pure "libs"
installer/package would be more appropriate, kind of like the
traditional pd-externals package. We already have binary packages of
vanilla Pd (Miller's and autobuild) and I believe it's easier to get
more people to use the same externals setup by providing a package
independent from a certain Pd build.

Ciao
