I don't know if you have access to a mac with pd on it, but I put up a 
binary of the latest GEM cvs for OSX (mainly to test the FTGL stuff), 
and it has some "hidden" objects/geos like [cubeArray], [kasser], and 
[tunnel], which I pulled out of some demo examples...I haven't 
committed them to cvs because I feel they would be better as 
"abstractions"...

...pardon me if I missed it before, but where should I look to figure 
out the gem scheduler stuff?  I also wonder if this would allow for 
processing of still images?  I'll definitely take a look at 
part_render...
