Thanks, its actually the collected effort of many, many people.  I  
guess I am the most visible since I most recently put a big chunk of  
work in.

Yeah, is a hack I call libdirs that I plan on developing further into  
a generic library format for objects written in any language, C, C++,  
Pd, C#, python, whatever.  This would be in conjunction with Thomas'  
loader extension and things like the Common Language Runtime API for  
Pd that was recently announced.

Here is some documentation about the idea and what's actually  
implemented:

Excellent!  The more, the merrier :)

Cool, just what I needed to fix up the script.  Try this .pdsettings  
file:

  As we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should  
be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours;  
and this we should do freely and generously.
