[PD] Updated pd-extended

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I haven't checked the status of any of those patches in a long time.  I posted
many in the patch tracker, did those get included?  I used to maintain the
pd-extended git repo as a branch that always showed the pd-extended changes as
a series of commits on top of Pd-vanilla's git.  That is called the
'patch_series' branch in the pd-extended.git. But then so many of my patches
did not get accepted, I abandoned that approach since it was too much work.
More recently, I reversed it, treating vanilla's git as a source of patches
for Pd-extended.

With the updates/cleanups to the tcl/tk sources a few years ago (great work Hans et al!), it should be alot easier than the previous extended releases. But still, *easy* or not, it involves time.

If welcome, I could help sharing my thoughts and two cents about that, but I realize those are not actual bug fixes regarding the code, so it's not a priority on its to do list and issues for being updated to another release.

Given the context, I'm not assuming any big to do list for some new features agenda. But besidesthe bug fixes, how hard is it for someone to just update to the latest vanilla core?
