[PD] pd namespaces

[J. Scott Hildebrand]

       i'm not sure i understand. are you talking about building an object
that loads libraries? in my experience, once you have a patch saved with
those libraries loaded, you're all done. all you need to do is load that
patch. maybe i misunderstand your question.
