i think the idea is to segregrate based on the paths libraries are
installed to.
usually there are directories where you need suprt-user rights to write
to. whenever something gets installed there, i think it would classify
as being "included".

e.g., everything in /path/to/pd/bin/../extra would be "included",
whereas everything in /home/${USER}/ would be user-installed.

a simpler discrimination would be to differentiate between
'administrator-installed' (paths starting with "/usr"; eventually also
include paths starting with "/opt" and "/var") 'user-installed' (the rest)

paths like /usr/local/lib/pd-externals which are searched automatically,
are somewhere inbetween, as they require su priviliges for installation
but can definitely not be considered as 'included'.

for other operating systems, the paths will obviously be different.

i would probably find it more convenient, if there was a simple way to
see the full path of a certain object.
i can then figure out myself, whether this is user-installed or
system-installed, and it helps me discriminate between multiple entries
of the same name.
