[PD-dev] d_global.c comment: blocksize

[Miller Puckette]

Hi Tim,

The block size changes dynamically, so it's not useful to know what it is
at an object's creation time, for instance.  It can be found when DSP is
sorted; since DSP gets resorted if a block~ is added or changed, this is
always up to date.

cheers
Miller
