Hi, thanks for  the patch. I just tried it out. Hooked up seq24 to pd.
Its really easy to use. Works very well for basic midi messages.

yes, this is really a bit of a problem. The build  system is extremely
messy. Also, the version in CVS is not the same as test8.

I applied it to test8 too, but there are some additional changes
in u_main.tk which make this a bit  problematic.

Hope we can sort all of this out afer ICMC.
