where are any abstractions/externals "grouped by functionality"?
do you mean pdmtl?

just to be clear: the files netpd.org/eni/purepd/ are not collected as 
library, they are just there since i have no other place to put them and 
it could be useful for purepd reasons.

the svn purepd patches contain some abstractions that confuse me a bit. 
actually i would like to contribute to purepd. (i.e. why is there moses 
and clip?)

maybe we should define a purepd styleguide too. the any_argument 
abstraction bothers me. i belive the patches could work without them and 
i would prefer to keep it super simple.
