Summary: Enhanced Path and Startup dialogs

Initial Comment:
Enhanced the Path and Startup dialogs to use Tk listbox widgets.

Ran into frustration with a max of 10 total startup paths and 10 total startup commands, as well as general low level of usability for these controls.  Since they haven't been significantly changed in about 5 years or more, they seem to warrant an update.

These dialogs now support an arbitrarily long list of startup paths and commands.  Other features include drag-and-drop reordering of path/startup items, consolidation of "Save all settings" button into the "apply" function, path browser for locating startup paths, and keyboard bindings for easy editing (Enter to change, Delete to delete, up and down arrows for navigation).

Before submitting, I vetted this project with members of the Pd community, and it received a sound approval from everyone who tried it.  I also incorporated feedback as it was given.  Please consider this patch for addition into the pd "vanilla" trunk.  Thank you!
