[PD] data structures......

It's certainly possible.  There's a Pd-l2ork script for creating a "vanilla" tarball with the l2ork changes in it, so I guess you could try dropping the src and extra from that into libpd's pure-data directory and see what happens.

But I don't know much about libpd.

in relation to Pd-l2ork,

guys, what's the status of having a 'libpd' for l2ork???  is that possible?  

sorry for going off topic...but it is something i have wanted to ask for ages.
