Hans, when you have a few minutes can you just sum up quickly how does it go
with namespaces? I've familiarized easy with everything else in the sources,
but i couldn't get namespaces do anything (thus my tabbed-console plugin
doesn't see the popupmode setting).

Btw, i would be happy to clean up pdtk_post as suggested by the comments,
but i have questions:
- "this should be switchable between Pd window and stderr": how do you
imagine this; a command line switch or from preferences...?
- you mentioned you would shift popupmode to a plugin, is it ok if i give it
a shot?
