[PD] pd-ext paths, libs and help

[marius schebella]

I am using 20080222. libdir is loading by default, so to me it looks as 
import is broken.
otoh, there is no library oscx.pd_darwin, since in pdxt all 
objectclasses are separate binaries. (OSCroute.pd_darwin). maybe that is 
the reason why import oscx does not work? otoh (again), when I create 
[import oscx] I get
[import] $Revision: 1.2 $

libdir_loader: added oscx to the canvas-local path
[import] loaded library: oscx
but then, still, OSCroute ... couldn't create.
I also read that import only gets executed on startup, so I saved the 
patch and reopened/restarted pd, but still OSC couldn't create.
only oscx/OSCroute works.
declare -path oscx is also doing nothing. oh, wait!
import -path oscx did the trick!!!

ok, here is what I get when I *only* use import -path oscx

hmm, [import oscx -path oscx] gives some errors, but then it works

don't know, is that the way it is supposed to work???
