That's great!

About the configure.ac stuff, I probably shouldn't have included those
changes in the submitted patch.
However, as a separate issue, those changes were necessary for me get
OSCx to compile against the Pd.app bundle.  Any chance on making
similar configure.ac changes that won't break Pd-extended?
