I strip out everything except the immediate parent.  That way you can 
still tell the difference between libs-- intimacy/love-help.pd vs. 
tennis/love-help.pd.  But I don't see a reason to display 
/usr/local/softwares/classic-90s-interfaces/tinytinyscrollbarzplzthx/pd/doc/externals/Dr.Externals/...

I'm just testing it on pd vanilla at the moment: foo.pd displays as foo.pd, 
and foo-help.pd displays as foo-help.pd.  Is it different for you?

I'll rethink the all_about* regsub.  Probably just displaying "All About 
foo" will look decent and not too repetitive...
