Ok, here's a 1st attempt.  It would look a lot better if I used 
[entry] to display the Pd version (and possibly tcl version) but 
that object is too buggy to use.

The links work assuming about.pd lives in doc/5.reference.

Btw-
/usr/lib/pd-extended/LICENSE.txt, referred to in the 
current "about pd" textfile, doesn't exist on my machine.
