which is great, but i'd wanted to point out, that in most distros
/usr/local/ is for "manually installed" packages (that is, software
not under the distro's package management control).
this is obviously the case if you compile the entire shebang yourself,
or if you use e.g. pd-l2ork's tar-file to install.
but when installing l2ork (or pdx, or pd) with
apt/yumm/emerge/pacman/..., they should go to /usr (and not /usr/local).

as for the cyclist/pdsend/pdreceive, i personally hardly ever use them.
none of these packages have anything todo with the inner workings of
Pd (they don't include m_pd.h), and are useful without pd installed
(pdsend/pdreceive are actually _more_ useful without pd).

thus i wanted to stress that they should be factored out into separate
packages (which is the case already for pd/pdx, as we have
puredata-utils and cyclist as separate packages), and not be included
into the "big superpackages".
esp. if they are the only blockers to let the three flavours live
side-by-side.
