Sorry, FFTW 3 was released several years before pd 0.40 and you decided to 
use the FFTW 2 API anyway.

FFTW 3 is still missing some features that are in FFTW 2, but AFAIK, those 
features are irrelevant to Pd.

Both libraries are available at the same time in several Linux 
distributions, and are completely separate APIs: you write for one or the 
other. It's difficult to say that the API of FFTW 2 changed to become FFTW 
3, especially as upgrading your distribution doesn't replace FFTW 2 by 
FFTW 3 and won't ever, and none of the filenames are the same, etc.
