[PD] apt get for abstractions

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I think this would be very useful.  It should be as easy to set up as  
possible, some kind of minimal setup based on HTTP like basic apt-get  
repositories.  Eclipse's repository format is worth checking out.

I think we should build it in Pd for maximum portability and  
maintainability.  Pd programmers will always be able to write in Pd.   
But that's not always the case for C or other programming languages.
