[L2Ork-dev] pd-l2ork-externals folder

That part is something Jonathan developed and we were in a holding 
pattern to figure out a few other things. For instance, should we save 
this with the rest of the settings? If so, this would mean also 
overriding general settings by saving another user.settings file in your 
~/.pd-l2ork file that also overrides other default values. My vote would 
be creating a separate user.theme file in the ~/.pd-l2ork folder. Thoughts?

Once we figure this out, saving this will be relatively trivial.

Best,

Ico

P.S. Copying Jonathan, in case he is not on the l2ork-dev list (in which 
case we should all criticize him until he feels bad :-).
