no of course; i meant the path that the currently-being-resolved dll
lives in.
this would be an extra path for each dll.

no it does not.
you need to modify the DL_SEARCH_PATH if you want that.

also w32 discovered [1], that their standard search paths might have
security implications....

a simple approach would be to modify the system's search paths before
dlopen()ing the externals from within Pd to include the path of the
currently loaded external (and revert this path to the original after
loading)
