Plugin Duplication

Although the main prefs window (figure 2) enables users to select the directory into which their DSOs will be saved when they develop Pixar plugins, see
    "Pixar's Devkit: Cutter's Devkit Authoring Environment"
it is now possible to nominate another directory (figure 3) where duplicates of the built DSOs will be saved.
