[PD] Unity and libpd

[Fede Camara Halac]

This is great! Thanks!

So, there is no need to compile externals along with libpd; meaning that you only need to compile libpd with libdl support and use externals available from deken, provided that these externals have been compiled with -DPDINSTANCE, that you add their path to libpd (when compiling libpd?) and finally that you [declare] them on your patch as usual?
