maybe i am blind to see the obvious solution, but the main problem i see
in including netpd into pd-extended is a complete different one: at
least the patches and the abstraction folders need to be outside the
package, since a user needs to have a writing access to these while
using netpd.  if netpd would be included into pd-extended, either one
has to create the necessary folders him/herself, or pd-extended would
create them in <whereever> (assumingly /home/user/netpd,
resp. /User/npetd), which is ugly and very unconvenient, if someone
doesn't have any plans to use netpd at all.
