[PD] pow~, etc. in Pd-extended 0.42.5

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Pd-vanilla added pow~, abs~, exp~, and log~.  Pd-extended had those  
from cyclone by default since 0.39.3.  IIRC, pow~ is the only one that  
has issues since it it incompatible with the cyclone one.  So I am  
wondering how best to handle this in the next Pd-extended release.

I have started making a 'vanilla' libdir that is all of the pd- 
internals from 0.42.5.  This gives us the option to keep the cyclone  
pow~ as the default and then access the new pow~ via vanilla/pow~ and  
the standard declare/import styles.  So all you who use pow~ with Pd- 
extended, what do you think the best plan is?

The other related issue is perhaps its time to remove the included  
libs from loading by default...  Then people who want complete vanilla  
compatibility would just load 'vanilla' and nothing else by default.   
That would also provide a mechanism for backwards compatibility using  
libs like vanilla-0.42.5, vanilla-0.41.4, etc.
