Aha - I shold have looked nstead of assuming.

I think the best "default" default would be to put things in ~/pd/extra,
assuming there's no problem writing to that (and, I suppose, assuming it
isn't shared among multiple users of the same machine).

I'd like to get a better understanding of all this n part because I'd like
to incorporate deken into Pd vanilla assuming its developers are cool with
that.
