I think that having this stuff generated at build time would make 
distributing PDP more difficult.  How about instead having 
[pdp_help_input] have both a video file input and a video camera input, 
so the user can decide which source to use whenever she is using the 
patch.

Whatever works :).

Also, while you are at it, here's a patch for changes needed to make 
PDP in the CVS developers' layout 
(http://puredata.org/docs/developer/devlayout ).  It would be good to 
have this in your PDP sources:
