So whats the point that you want to make with that ?
I understand Miller that he doesn't want to export this file, because the
whole point on Pd is that this should be handled differently. I didn't
know that when I started using g_canvas.h, others followed to do so and
so I feel responsible for having started this (and, in fact having delayed
in some way the acceptance of the data structures).

there surely are, in this case the missing g_canvas.h is a problem of the
devel version ?
