but there is a link on pure-data.sf.net which says "If you absoluetly cannot use
CVS, there are nightly CVS-tarballs of the whole project tree available (around

get it work... i cannot compile windows externals, because i cannot install a
cracked version of MS VC++ on our university computers... ;-)
