[PD] cannot create moonlib/absolutepath on Windows

Hello all,

I had previously released a small abstraction of a visual keyboard for 
Pd (see: 
http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/8584/keyboards-gui-for-midi/1 ), but 
I had tested it only on Linux. Now, I got some reports from Windows 
users that they can't create [moonlib/absolutepath] on their system, 
which I used in that abstraction. They get the following error message:

...couln't create {new line} load_object: Symbol "absolutepath_setup" 
not found.

We did some troubleshooting, and here is what we found:

- [import moonlib] does not make any difference
- nor does using [moonlib/absolutepath] instead of [absolutepath]
- they are able to create other moonlib externals, such as [image], 
[mknob], etc.
- the last line of the source code for absolutepath says /* NOT _WIN32 
*/ but the problem is present on Windows 64-bit

Has anyone else encountered this problem? And does anyone know a 
solution to it?

Cheers,
Gilberto Agostinho
