...when I first saw this, I wondered why you put this there?  I don't  
remember that being the "new" place to put things:  I used to think I  
kept up to date on all of the osx-specific changes, but apparently  
somethings are missed...in any event, we used to (and I still do) use  
"~/Library/Pd" to place externals...
