Thanks to IOhannes' hex loader patch, the setup functions will work  
with these names now too.  Within Pd, its a symbol, so it should be no  
problem.

The Mac OS X and GNU/Linux filesystems handle those names fine.  But of  
course Windows is a pain: NTFS does not allow these characters in  
filenames:

But again, IO's hex loader patch works on filenames too, so well have  
to get used to seeing "0x3c" in filenames, i.e. hertz-0x3Cmidi.pd =  
[hertz->midi].
