[PD-dev] starting pd from tcl

[0001]

ok this seems to solve the problem with the socket in s_inter.c

#ifdef MACOSX
	if (setsockopt(xsock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR,
			&intarg, sizeof(intarg)) < 0)
			post("setsockopt (SO_REUSEADDR) failed\n");	
#endif

(I wonder if it would affect anything else)

so now the port is available when closing pd ...
I don't know how bad it is to depend on this particular port
