- It's super messy and only trying to sketch an idea on how to
actually do it while learning tcl/tk and getting into Pd src. This
sketching need no edits to Pd source code but tries to black-box
test first. Depending on the actual implementation one might need
to patch s_path.c, hence recompile Pd to do a full test (as opposed
to just swap main.tk). IOhannes recently got a patch for adding
more path/libs into Vanilla that gives more then 10 variables to
work with in the Tcl side of Pd. A better fix would be to use
another format (not assumed in my test) then pd_path0,
pd_path1, ..., pd_pathN - like a 'pd_path' array.
This test looks like a great start. If it could have in-place
editing and the ability to change the order, it would be perfect!
The path/startup stuff should already be in place for this to plug
into, thanks to IOhannes' patch.
