With this release of Pd-extended, all platforms have default

thoughts on that?
i would rather have the configuration file(s) move into ~/.pd/ this way it is easy to add conffiles for other Pd-related stuff without cluttering the ~ even more.
Here's how it is now:
GNU/Linux: /usr/share/pd and ~/pd
ouch! according to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREARCHITECTUREINDEPENDENT...), this directory is reserved for "Architecture-independent data". traditional ("C") externals do not exactly fall into this category.
