This is a good idea all around... I'd suggest "pd_msw", and to search for "pd_msw" extensions before falling back to ".dll". If you don't do it first I'll go on and code it here.

Hi all,
...is it impossible to use different postfix's on windows? Not that it'll help, but in Xcode it's called "executable extension", so maybe there's an option equally obscure on windoze?
i have always wondered why there is just .dll, and no .pd_win or .pd_nt or whatever, similar to pd_darwin. Just having done some short tests, doesn't seem to be a reason for that, as everything is working ok. Clearly the pd loader would have to be extended. To my mind, it's advantageous to be able to use both the native shared library extensions (like .so, .dylib, .dll) and custom pd ones. The former to easily use it with dynamic linking and the latter to resolve name clashes....
Make a diff and I'll included it in Pd-extended.
