[L2Ork-dev] pd-l2ork-externals folder

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Great catch, Albert! I just committed a couple more fixes changing 
things as follows:

All pd-l2ork-related user config is now stored in the ~/.pd-l2ork 
folder. Inside it you will find a user.settings file (which replaces the 
obscure .pdl2ork that used to be in the ~/ folder), as well as xapian 
index (doc_index folder). The default.pdl2ork has become 
default.settings (it is by default located in the /usr/lib/pd-l2ork 
folder and is also linked from /etc/pd-l2ork). ~/pd-l2ork-externals is 
still referenced as one of the paths but I think this will go away 
because it can cause problems down the road because it is implied for 
new users and if anyone creates this folder, they may end up having 
conflicting externals and other issues. For the time being let's keep it 
as-is.

HTH

Best,

Ico
