[PD-dev] BUG: namespace prefixes broken in 0.40

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I did a quick check, seems to work again.  Will report again if there  
are problems.

How about the patch that IOhannes submitted a while aback making the  
the astraction-canvas use the prefix and classname?  That is also  
important since it puts objects written in Pd on the same footing at  
C objects.
