[PD-dev] verbose(), sys_verbose, and recommended practice

[Miller Puckette]

My intent was to have sys_verbose set when you needed extra output to debug
a patch (in particular, figuring out why files didn't get found along
search paths).  But I think any sort of "advice" message could be put on 
the sys_verbose flag... including some that aren't in Pd vanilla at the
moment.

cheers
