[PD] ~/pd or ~/.pd for user's externals directory

[João Pais]

An "official" folder would be ok. But it should be possible to reassign  
this variable if necessary. In my case I have the work folder /jmmmp-ext  
in the extras folder (where is also a jmmmp folder from pd). That allows  
me to get to my work much faster than having something on my system user  
folder.
When I update pd, it always overwrites everything but this folder,  
evidently.
