[PD] tight syncing of two pd machines...

[Marc Lavallée]

Here's a new scalenum abstraction, based on Josh's abstraction and
Martin's comment. I added inlets to change the input and output
boundaries. It doesn't use "expr", but only "native" objects. When the
boundaries are set, it works with one addition, one multiplication, and
one substraction. I though about adding a min-max filter, but it would
involve more calculation, so I'll leave that part as an exercise. :-)
