cvs update -d -P is my friend ;-)

could you point at the patches I should have to apply by hand?

ok oh I see. Well I just removed import.c, as you point out below.

thanks, that's very helpful actually!

but, could you point out what you do about 'broken' externals  
compilation, such as this (which happens on latest checkout):

/usr/bin/ld: warning -L: directory name (/Users/dc/dev/pure-data/ 
externals/../externals/hcs/hid/HID Utilities Source/build) does not  
exist
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lHIDUtilities
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/Users/dc/dev/pure-data/externals/../externals/hcs/hid/ 
hid.pd_darwin] Error 1

When it tries to compile hid?

I can see it's makefile tests for existing of the build directory and  
libHIDUtilities.a in there here:

hid_utilities:
	test -f ./HID\ Utilities\ Source/build/libHIDUtilities.a || \
		( cd  ./HID\ Utilities\ Source && pbxbuild )

I mean so far, I've had to remove markex, speex (wanted lame, I  
didn't want to bother), and now I should have to remove hid, but it  
seems like a pity, because I'm going to need hid soon, so I'll just  
end up there again.

Do you usually remove whatever won' t compile?
