How does one tell the difference?
i think the idea is to segregrate based on the paths libraries are installed to. usually there are directories where you need suprt-user rights to write to. whenever something gets installed there, i think it would classify as being "included".
e.g., everything in /path/to/pd/bin/../extra would be "included", whereas everything in /home/${USER}/ would be user-installed.
a simpler discrimination would be to differentiate between 'administrator-installed' (paths starting with "/usr"; eventually also include paths starting with "/opt" and "/var") 'user-installed' (the rest)
paths like /usr/local/lib/pd-externals which are searched automatically, are somewhere inbetween, as they require su priviliges for installation but can definitely not be considered as 'included'.
for other operating systems, the paths will obviously be different.
i would probably find it more convenient, if there was a simple way to see the full path of a certain object. i can then figure out myself, whether this is user-installed or system-installed, and it helps me discriminate between multiple entries of the same name.
