true, but well++, I wanted to stress this point: If you're
preconfiguring a package as a distribution maker, you should not load
every single external as a lib, but just set the path. If a user wants
to preload a single object using -lib, this is some personal
preference but should not be done by the distribution. IMHO.

Yes that's the point we are actually debate... so if you want to include in the path librairies like unauthorized, ext13, cyclone...etc which have a binaries (externals?) for each objects include in the lib... and that you want to create a script where people choose the externals/lib available to include in the pdsettings ;-) , how you do that? do you include that in a path like /usr/lib/pd/externals/ext13 ...etc and then -lib ext13 but then it don't load all the binaries of the lib (externals?)... .
The script is made like this :
it go to find librairies in a path like this one /usr/lib/pd/externals and then upload to a graphic window and let's people choose which lib they want to include in their pdsettings... but for maxlib, percolate...no problem because they have one binary for all the objects in the lib... but for others lib the script show all the objects of the lib and then the script write the path & -lib tata (name of the binary.externals) including -lib alltheobjectsofthislib... if you guys have some ideas...

cheers
