Yes, but k_jack~ and jackx does quite seperate tasks (doesn't they?).
Allthough they both can be used to connect jack clients, they do it
in different ways. k_jack~ makes a new jack port for each inlet or outlet,
while jackx just connects allready existing ports.

And regarding making it a lib, I don't think its very userfriendly to let
the user add "-lib <filename>" to the commandline when starting pd.

But it would be nice with an external that automaticly behave like
k_jack~ when needed, and jackx when needed: That is when the external
only connects two allready existing jack ports, to create some kind
of super jack patch bay external. But I don't really see how to do that in
practice.
