[PD] dynamic loading in external

[David Medine]

Indeed, the ldl methods seem to work, but this is a horrible pain. It 
means sprintf-ing together function calls, and it will mean no little 
#ifdef _WIN32 statements. Blech!

Maybe somewhere on stackoverflow there is an answer to this problem. It 
does seem to be Pd specific, though.
Cheers,
David
