OK. Just to be sure we are on the same page, I understand that the
following assumptions will be true, once the PRs are accepted:

 * The user defines the environment. The user can define in the pre-
   ferences in which paths [declare] looks for libraries.

 * Patches can use [declare] to load libraries, regardless where they
   are installed as long as the install path was added as searchpath
   in the preferences

 * Patches don't need to know anything about the environment.


Example:
--------

User adds '/home/jane/fanypdcollection/' to the paths in Pd's
preferences. Then she installs iemnet to
/home/jane/fancypdcollection/iemnet after she configured Deken to
install libraries to /home/jane/fanypdcollection/. Then she creates a
new patch, therein a [declare -path iemnet] and a [tcpclient] and the
latter creates successfully.

Is this the idea?
