I just pushed to pd-extended.git a reworking of the Pd window and the  
post code, adding logpost() and dynamic updating of the log level.  It  
now keeps all messages in a buffer, then when you select a loglevel  
from the Pd window, it'll clear the Pd window and refilter the whole  
log based on the new log level.  In the process I found some tweaks  
that make things run much faster when posting lots of messages, so  
that's nice.  It also includes all of the changes above except the  
"remove" one.

I'd like to refactor this into something for Pd 0.43. Miller,  
IOhannes, what do you think?
