[PD] rjdj is gone, robotcowboy is coming ...

Yes, you can add *abstractions* but not compiled C/C++ externals.

No, it's not like RjDj, WebDAV is a layer on top of HTTP for document management. It's like FTP and is supported by plenty of clients including the Mac OSX Finder, Gnome Nautilus, etc. You basically connect to the iPad and see the Documents folder like it was on your computer. FileZilla and Cyberduck will also work.

[import] might work, but I don't want to stray too far form pd-vanilla, although I already am by including the mrpeach osc externals. Currently, I use pd-extended with all but mrpeach disabled for development.

Obviously you can't do that with a statically linked library, but you can with a text file. All patch abstraction libraries will be in the Documents folder where you can update them over WebDAV. The app simply adds any folders it sees to the search path, although I'm considering [declare] as a standard of practice.
