[PD] CONTEXT V3.0.2 tests. (was: How to declare custom libraries in abstractions)

Good to know that my testing was useful.

However, I don't know if this is important for your testings, but I DO have
iemguts and zexy (and cyclone, flatgui, hcs and list-abs... for the ones
you use) already installed via Deken (so on Mac OS X now they're put in
/Users/myuseraccount/Library/Pd/).

I'll look deeper into Context when I have time, but it looks a huge amount
of work.

all the best,

Raphaël
