[PD] PD Launcher/External Manager

[bbogart at ryerson.ca]

I had not envisioned the thing to download and install, but mostely manage adding the lib to the pd command line and scanning and organizing libs.. 

the best way to get externals is CVS!!! :)

I think the tool would be mostly used to manage all the CVS externals.
