With pd-double, the vanilla/ lib won't take precedence because the  
internals are still statically linked in and their setup() functions  
are called at startup.  The only way to access the vanilla/ objects in  
pd-double is with a vanilla/ prefix.

I keep vanilla/ lib sources in sync with Pd so its maintenance load is  
minimal.  So once pd-vanilla has double-precision support, vanilla/  
lib will too
