But you type the same with both layouts. To not have to type the prefix,
you just add the "prefix" directory directly to your path with a pd-path
setting, declare, import or whatever. The issue of help files not being
found is not related to that. Which brings to my mind: I think, Pd may
benefit from an option to set the -helppath dynamically, too, e.g. in
[declare] or somewhere else.
