Looks interesting, it would be much easier for us to test it if you  
check it into packages/patches, then it'll be in all the autobuilds. :D

I have two comments on it:

- Instead of having an 'entry' for each line, I think there should be  
a scrollable text field of fixed size, like 10 elements or so.  Then  
that textfield can handle unlimited numbers of paths.  Then there  
would be a + and - button to add and remove things.

- instead of having pd_startup0 thru pd_startupN as global variables,  
it seems like it would be much cleaner if pd_startup (and pd_path for  
that matter) were array or list references.
