I decided to spend a couple hours writing some good ol' Tcl, and I
seem to have made it possible to create an app based on your patch on
Mac OS X. Try it out on tomorrow's nightly build, or just download
u_main.tk from SVN and copy it to Applications/Pd-extended.app/
Contents/Resources/bin/pd.tk.
Now, I am thinking about how to make the Debian/Ubuntu version of
this. I think it should be possible to have this create a .deb
package with the proper dependencies, including the version. It will
also install preferences and a menu item so that you can launch your
patch from the Applications menu. I think on Debian, it should not
copy the Pd-extended files at all, but instead should depend on the
Pd-extended package.

i am confused by your definition of 'standalone'. isn't 'standalone' supposed _not_ to require to be installed and _not_ to have any dependencies?
however, i appreciate your initiative to make a standalone pd version.

I think the term "standalone" comes from Max/MSP. Basically, the
idea only makes sense on Mac OS X. This just makes a copy of Pd and
embeds the patch it in. That copy then can have its own name, icon,
etc.
On Debian/Ubuntu, it makes much more sense to make a .deb that
depends on the Pd-extended .deb.
