On a related topic, it would be nice if there were a standard recommended place to install such help files for pd extensions, e.g., /usr/local/lib/pd/doc/5.reference/extensions/<packagename>/. (I have seen /usr/local/lib/pd/doc/5.reference/<packagename>[help]/ used by some packages.)
Similarly, it would also be helpful to have a standard recommended directory for installation of externals (and libraries of externals), such as /usr/local/lib/pd/extensions/<package-name>/. I have seen /usr/local/lib/pd/<package-name>/ used by some packages, which leaves it unclear what is an extension and what is native pd.
Actually all externals are an extension to Pd. On the CVS distribution build, every external is install to /usr/[local/]lib/pd/extra/ all docs go to doc/5.reference/ without subfolders. I think, installing all binaries in one directory makes things very easy to understand and setup.
