I am ccing the list to open it up to others and put it in the
archive. I should make a FAQ for this question I suppose...
Basically, I am encouraging people to first try distributing their
library as a standalone libdir. Pd-extended now makes its a lot
easier to install and use libdirs. Then you can work out the
distribution and development issues on your own schedule instead of
having to work around the Pd-extended release cycle. Once things are
stable and not changing much any more, then it makes more sense to
included in Pd-extended.
To include a library, first you need SVN access, then you need to
check it into SVN in the 'externals' section, then you need to add it
to the Pd-extended build system. There is a lot of developer
documentation that you should check out. Links below:

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
