[PD-dev] release pd 0.52 update?

[Miller Puckette]

OK, I'm convinced.  Anyhow there are plenty of possible version numbers left :)

Another reason could be that I'm unable to do as much testing myself as usual.

A minor inconvenience is that the older-mac compiles will have to wait until I can
get back to my usual lair.

cheers
Miller
