[PD-dev] call for discussion: native video for Pd

Does this also mean that you will be finally accepting the SIMD 
extensions? Otherwise i can't figure out how video should be 
realistically working, cpu-wise.

Concerning fat externals, i would rather prefer a more general solution 
to tackle the variety of architectures available... i386 vs. PIII vs. 
P4 vs. AMD64 vs. G3 vs. G4 vs. G5 / win vs. linux vs. macos
It would be extremely nice and convenient if an architecture-specific 
optimized binary could be loaded from a really-fat external bundle, as 
suggested several months ago.

best greetings,
Thomas
