here's some info because Tim prefers to have this stuff on the list, as 
we're talking about making nontrivial changes to devel_0_39.

well, i disagree with knuth ... we should get some code done before
renaming it ;-)

i had a brief look an the file ... seemed to be some fancy kind of pd's
gui ... but i missed some kind of introduction ... he did not post
anything to the lists. if we work on a project we should try to make sure
that everyone knows, what the other ones are doing ... and that we agree
on something ...

if we do it a week later it's better for me ... i'm probably moving next
week to a place with internet connection ...

well, as you know, i'm a fan of communication, so we should try to
discuss on the lists when doing non-trivial changes ;-)
