[PD] standard paths for externals

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

This is not a switch in behaviour as I see it, since you can keep things as
they are and the behaviour is still the same. Hence, no compatibility
breakage here.

Now, if you wanna do things differently, in a new way, as another option,
then this is provided and you should adapt your patches.

So it is a matter of deciding wether if it is worth to change your setup or
not...

cheers
