0.43-0 double precision ready. In fact what you have is
'arbitrary-precision' code which can be built for single or double precision
with the setting of a single definition in the API header m_pd.h. Test
patches are included.

So far, I have tested on OSX and Linux. Remarkably, double precision Pd
performance is comparable to current Pd on the Intel CPU's. The only
drawback that I can think of is, it eats memory. This would be a bummer for
Pd users doing Ableton style stuff with lots of soundfiles to be loaded into
RAM. Krzysztof Czaja already warned me for this at Pd Con, but at the time I
forgot a bit about the problems with loading soundfiles during a live
session.

For me, as a precision freak, it is a delight to work with double precision
Pd. Some examples are illustrated on mentioned webpage. Unfortunately, my
music stuff needs Pd extended. I would be happy to continue the project.
