OK, time to wake up, release is out! ;-)

Seriously, current implementation doesn't give a hint for a good choice
of install directory (it suggests ~/ if there is no
~/.local/lib/pd/extra) . Even if the user-specific search directory is
not auto-created, at least the plugin should give a hint of what is a
sensible choice.
