> If I create a new-style Max package (essentially a folder with my object name containing an extensions folder containing my library) then it will work without the requirement for the mappings file you describe below. The user puts it in the Max 6 "packages" folder and then they can use "ml.mlp" or whatever just fine. This is really no different to requiring users to put the ml.mxo in their extensions folder.

Exactly, but it makes the process easier if more files are involved.

If someone distributes their patch in a folder containing the external, it should "just work", and the only way I can see to achieve this with Max is to distribute individual objects rather than as a library.

True, if this is desired, then external libraries are not a solution.
