Huh. I didn't realise that either. That -is- cool.

Are you referring to SWIG? I've been thinking about using SWIG with  
PD for some time, but was afraid to try...mostly because I wanted to  
use ruby while bypassing Gridflow, to create standalone scripts for  
pd using its libs.

I'd be willing to collaborate in this effort. Do you have some idea  
of where you want to begin?
