but what was your actual problem? or was there none?

hans is splitting up the externals because:
- it could be a way to allow users resolv nameclashes (but then i think 
that most users of the pd-extended installer will not dig into the 
depths of the bundle to exchange the binaries of this external against 
that one)
- because with externals the users need not think about loading a 
library to get a special object. they just load the object.
