[PD] available objects in pd extended

[Derek Holzer]

Actually, the way I understand it is that there isn't someone who 
decides whether something is included. It's an automatic build system, 
so anything that gets submitted to the SVN can be included 
automatically. So it would be an extra step for each and every lib 
author to manually include it in this list, and for some authors, making 
understandable help patches is already a challenge enough!!! ;-) So 
without an automatic system in place, it is up to each author/maintainer.
