[PD] Pd documents path proposal

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

Ok, first bug report:

- if I choose a different *Externals install Directory* other than the
"externals" subfolder (say "libs" for example) and hit ok, it still creates
an "externals" subdirectory and adds it to the search path, whereas "libs"
is not added! Though deken still asks me to download to "libs". As I see,
it shouldn't create "externals" nor add it to the path, and then add "libs"
to the path.
