But then you'll have .so for linux (and darwin?), not .pd_linux, and .dll for mswindows, which was the source of the problem in the first place: a shared library unrelated to pd could have the same name as a pd external.
That's a platform-specific problem, as both Linux and OSX rely on full filenames with directories. When Microsoft gets to that point, we may declare it to have transcended MSDOS 1.x.
Sure, but on all platforms you can have multiple search paths which are not forseeable by the programmer. AFAIK there's nothing to stop a user adding /usr/local/lib to a linux pd's path, where there could be lurking a hid.so entirely unrelated to pd...
