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

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey all,

So the plan for puredata-dev has been pushed off until Pure Data 0.43  
is released and packaged, so I think that the approach used in these  
two packages is going to be necessary for the timebeing.

Can anyone upload these two?  They are needed as deps for the rest of  
the packages that I have ITP'ed.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
