LTI?

Don't need to bypass it, and don't necessarily think I will, I'm just  
trying to see if the SWIG dependency would be less troublesome, as  
gridflow is a little hard to compile on osx, and almost impossible in  
windows, etc. But then I think I may be swapping one set of problems  
by another, and then again, I could be helping to debug gridflow  
compilation instead of checking SWIG... ;-)

So but I'd still be interested in seeing SWIG interfaces to PD core  
libs, to -any- good scripting language.
