[PD] New users and external path struggles

[Jonathan Wilkes]

> yeah, this worked because of libdir. 

A few details:

* The Pd extended libdir loader searches for a $LIBNAME-meta.pd file. If 
it finds it it adds the directory containing it to the global search path.* namespace prefixes (probably better referred to as directory prefixes) will 
add the prefixed name to Pd's object creator methodspace.
So if you do this:[foo/image][bar/image][/home/foo/decade_old_version/build/bin/image]
None will clash with the others.
(Of course if you have /home/foo AND /home/bar/foo in your search path 
then you are right back to depending on path search order...)
