Hi Krzysztof,

you found a 'bug' in maxlib! I have a version 0.2 of speedlim that does not
ingnore input if blocked.... however, I forgot to update the sourcefile for the
library. It's mentioned in the HISTORY for version 0.8. Shame on me! - I'll fix
this for the next release.

What about exchanging code? - Your 'extended' match and speedlim objects seem
to cover the same functionallity plus some more (they are thus downwards
compatible). I would like to include them in maxlib and you could include borax
in cyclone.
By providing the same functionallity it makes no difference which library to
use...
