As far as I understand it, externals/grill is hosted in your  
repository, and then every night, it is mirrored to pure-data CVS.  I  
am saying instead of this setup, it would make more sense to import  
the code from your repository only when you make a release.  No one  
currently uses branches against externals/grill to track changes to  
that area, so I see now benefit to having it mirrored in pure-data CVS.

Instead, if stable releases were in external/grill, then we would not  
have to worry about various inevitable development hiccups when  
building Pd-extended.  I think this would also work well with Gem,  
PDP, and GridFlow, which are also managed in other repositories.
