[PD-dev] declare (again)

[Dan Wilcox]

Also, I like that this simple, yet elegant approach does not need to remove or override the explicit -path or -lib flags at all. I'm not sure why we didn't think of it when I wrote the initial PR a year ago.

[declare] then behaves more like the lua loader which searches for both binary and script modules, which I find relatively easy to use. I don't think this would break existing patches and would also honor the relative path restrictions for self contained projects, where specifying a relative path starting with ./ or ../ only searches locally.
