Yes! We should have an LME!

Ok, some (critical) thoughts:
* Preferences: again, a launcher is a bad idea IMO, it should be a preference dialog. Don't think about software being written once and then its done. If you have the launcher, you will want to have preferences sooner or later, ...
* External loader comes from the concept of having libraries. I have mentioned several times that this is not a good way how to write externals, because it merely adds complexity in the build processes and uses up more RAM.
We should get rid of the concept of libraries. (Hide the "external loader" in a "advanced" tab if you like, but don't write a program that is an "external loader" above all).
* Different configurations: I think this is a very good concept and should be easy to add by using different names for pd config files.
Last but not least, Miller is already thinking about preferences, expecially for audio settings, and changing them on the fly is not too far away ...
