[PD-dev] missing file from pd-MAIN and fftw version

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Using loading order will have similar problems whether you use the  
first loaded or the last loaded.  And changing the order of  
precedence will have lots of unintended consequences.

Modern programming languages use namespaces (C++, Python, Java,  
SmallTalk, etc).  Namespaces are a much more appropriate and proven  
way to deal with this issue.  Its already working in Pd on a basic  
level, and most of what's needed for a full-fledged namespace system  
is already implemented.
