[PD-dev] pd external c++ example

[Joseph Larralde]

Thank you both for shedding the light on the role of the setup function.
I should definitely read pd's source someday to get a deeper understanding.

And I want to say bravo for the actual state of the github organization 
by the way.

Best,
Joseph
