next, two small, weird-ish packages: puredata-import and pd-libdir

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I'm following up to see whether someone will sponsor these packages.   
All of the rest of the packages that I've ITP'ed depend on these, so I  
would like to get these in so I can continue submitting the rest of  
the libraries.

I think that it'll be a while before puredata-dev gets sorted out and  
uploaded, and puredata 0.43 is not even released yet, so I think its  
worthwhile to upload these with the current patched workaround.

Plus once I become DM or DD, then I can do the follow-up uploading  
myself, thereby not inconveniencing anyone else :)  If someone here  
will vouch for me, I'll revive my DM application now. :-D

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more  
direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice,  
it can change entire economies.     - Amy Smith
