Summary: [declare]: '-stdpath' doesn't work on OS X 

Initial Comment:
at least it doesn't work the same as on windows and linux. to add a path from extra directory, on windows and linux it works like this:

[declare -stdpath ../extra/<somedir>]

however, on OS X this  doesn't work. although i asked the list several times, it seems that noone has ever managed to add a path using '-stdpath' on OS X.

On Mac OS X, you need to omit the "../", i.e. [declare -stdpath
extra/<somedir>].  Since that means that [declare] with -path/-stdpath has
broken behavior, I have suggested some changes that would make it more
intuitive but would break on all platforms:

I can confirm for Linux and
http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Software/pd-0.41-0test06.src.tar.gz

Here [declare -stdpath XX] acts the same as [declare -path XX] which means
it searches relative to the patchfile containing the declare-ation. I
tested this by starting Pd with -verbose and looking in the error output
when trying to create an non-existing object in a patch with the
declare-ation.
