If you wanted to truly follow the OS X directory layout, externals and 
such installed by the Application should be in:
/Library/Applcation Support/Pd

while user-installed externals etc. would go in:
~/Library/Applcation Support/Pd

Which would allow different users on the same system to have different 
configurations.

BTW, extended is looking really nice on Leopard, no crashing here. :)
Thanks for the hard work.
