I personally think that the ability to compile PD patches would be extremely helpful, regardless of the fact that it is open source. Sometimes the whole open source perspective gets too focused on needs of developers, and not on needs of musicians and composers and end users, who might just want a cool application to play with.
I would love to build an application to share with my friends, that I could package as a self-contained unit.
Hm, I share Pd patches with people on and off this list for years now, it never was a big problem to use patches made by someone else, so I don't see where the problem is? Is it installing externals? Difficulties in installing externals won't be fixed by standalone Pd patches, it will be fixed by getting e.g. Pd-extended to run and install easily everywhere.
Pd is free software, everyone can install it and IMO everyone interested in sound software should have a copy installed anyway, if just to quickly built little helper tools to convert Midi to OSC or similar.
