[PD] multiple pd versions and settings on OS X

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

On Mac OS X, you can stick a prefs plist into the Pd-extended.app and  
then it'll always ignore all other prefs.  Instead the Pd- 
extended.app, just copy /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/ 
org.puredata.pd.default.plist to /Applications/Pd-extended.app/ 
Contents/org.puredata.pd.plist
