I agree here, and that is the direction I am working towards with any  
Pd code I work on.  But for pbank, how about just compiling it and  
releasing it on its own?

Or there is already a 'nusmuk' library in Pd-extended, with only  
abstractions.  How about moving abstractions/nusmuk to externals/ 
nusmuk, then including pbank in there?

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more  
direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice,  
it can change entire economies.     - Amy Smith
