woops, forgot
       14.5 foreach dependency {goto 1}
       16 Pay $35 for the program that lets you drag stuff from safari to the desktop so it stops popping up shareware warnings

anyways im sure an interesting afternoon project would be to recreate portage's 'SVN/CVS ebuild' feature in pd-extended's autotools scripts.  so it could automagicaly download the deps like LADSPA/FluidSynth/PA19 for MacOSX and MinGW users who dont have such capabilities innate in their OS..
