Yes definitely, we should let everyone who wants to be get involved.   
I am just saying with need a development platform to start with.  Once  
that's nailed down, we can deal with more issues, like porting to  
libpd, dealing with externals that could be either 32-bit or 64-bit,  
etc.

I setup a nightly build on the macosx106-x86_64 and called it pd- 
double.  Andras and r33p, if you are listening, could you run this  
build on your 64-bit boxes also?  All you need to do is:

~pd/auto-build
cp -a pd-extended pd-double
