- everything else is in that repository
- makes for one checkout for everything
- makes it easy to make branches and tags for the whole shebang
- we are one big happy family :D

I am all for improving things, but it seems that this would need to  
happen before reorganizing the repository.  Otherwise we are without  
pd-extended builds until it happens.  That's not why I spent all my  
free time one summer building the Pd-extended and the auto-build  
farm.  Switching to SVN is not a good enough reason for major breakage.
