[PD] drag-n-drop support in Pd-extended (TkDND)

[Mike Moser-Booth]

A bit of a variation on what João is suggesting, but I think a simple
[cnv]-like gui object that will take a drag-and-drop file and output
the path and filename would be nice. Something that just defines an
area to drop on. Then you could just do simple things like stick the
[cnv] behind an array and drop a soundfile on it to load, for example.
