[PD] available objects in pd extended

[Martin Peach]

Here's a python script to list all the externals in a directory.
It goes through all the subdirectories too.
Problem with MSW pd externals: they end in '.dll', which could be any shared 
library.
Linux and OSX externals end in '.pd_darwin' or '.pd_linux' so they can't be 
confused.

I tried it with a cygwin terminal like this:
python pddlls.py "C:\Program Files\pd\extra"
...and got a list of 2502 objects.
