Since Pd-Extended is basically EOL at this point, maybe we should discuss more formal plans on a transition to Pd-vanilla+deken.
I think the main outstanding issue is whether deken functions correctly on Windows. Roman did some testing and I think there were some outstanding issues but my memory is blurry.
As far as I can tell, there are no out-standing issues on Windows regarding deken. Two things have been fixed that affected the usage of deken:
* Some standard paths were missing so that deken wasn't found on newer Windows' (fixed with commit 7fb6311c)
* [declare -stdpath] did not work on Windows (fixed with commit 1b7af3c)
I remember that deken on Windows did not automatically unzip the packages, but only download them. Is that still the case? On my test machine I installed a bunch of unix-y toos for building (git bash, mingw, etc.) and then auto-unzipping worked, though I haven't investigated what exactly made it work. I guess some installer came with a unzip binary. Is that something that you would like to address?
