[PD-dev] [PATCH] Replace getbytes calls by alloca whenever possible in mrpeach's packOSC.c

[Julien 'Lta' BALLET]

Hello,

I can't test on other platform than on Linux, so some help testing this
would be appreciated, but this functions is available at least under
windows, and osx. The semantic is the same on all the platforms, according
to the documenation. I've included the correct header on windows, unix and
osx.
