[PD] stand alone applications

[Derek Holzer]

He actually asked if it could be done without installing PD. So 
technically, no it's not possible, since the PD executables would need 
to be distributed with the patch. On top of that, a pdsettings or pdrc 
file would need to be sent (and installed properly) to use any externals 
or other path-oriented stuff, if I understand how that's being done 
these days.

The discussion in the archives (at least my part of it) was all about 
how this standalone business is a relic of commercial software thinking. 
Let's agree to both be correct ;-)
