[PD] GUI overload

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

If you install it using binary tarball (or build it using ./tar_em_up -u),
it will install into /usr/local/lib/ folder so it shouldn't mess with the
regular pd/pd-extended. The deb OTOH cannot (yet) coexist with pd-extended,
mainly due to shared names of some of the binaries (e.g. pd-gui)...
