[PD] pd as a vst instrument plugin

[Joseph A. Sarlo]

I'm using VC 6. My plan is to have GrIPD act as the gui for the pd-vst
plugin.  Eventually I'd like to make it possible for someone to develop a PD
patch with a GrIPD gui with standard PD and then either export it as a vst
plugin, or open it from within the vst host via some pd-vst shell. I haven't
decided which is the better way to go yet. There are many details I still
need to work out, but I've done a proof-of-concept, and I have audio,
timing, and GrIPD gui working!
