[PD-dev] tooltips

Hi all,
i'm extremely pro-XML, just to say that.
On the other hand, i'm also very pro-attributes (like in Max/Jitter), which
is a way to simplify/unify inspector stuff a lot.
It's fully implemented in flext (and all attribute-enabled flext objects
have a respective inspector via the properties menu), but apart from that it
would be great to have system-wide attribute functionality - although that's
probably a lot of work as well.

best greetings,
Thomas
