[PD] Pd-extended 0.43 builds are working again

[Joe Newlin]

I'm more than happy to contribute, but I remember being even happier making music. Anyway, I just copied a compiled version of zexy from an older installation on another computer and that works fine (so far).

But how about this: an abstraction (named wet-dry-mono.pd) in my working directory of patches loads fine in one abstraction but not in another - in the same patch.

The abstraction that loads wet-dry-mono.pd ok is in that working directory. The abstraction that does not load wet-dry-mono.pd ok is in a subdirectory of the working directory, and said subdirectory is loaded using [declare]. Not sure if those details are significant.

I'm just a guitar player and not a computer programmer so I'm a little slow at this stuff, but if you have a suggestion for this option I would appreciate it.

Mainly, libs that were no more in the pd extra folder. The only error message I get for the moment is concerning the pdlua folder (unable to find the symbol of something like that). I will try to find the bug tonight.
