Packaging should be easy, just included all the needed .dlls into the readanysf~ folder.  No install_name_tool trickery like on Mac OS X.

This is a 64-bit build on Mac OS X 10.6 running in a 64-bit Pd-extended.  I create a [readanysf~], then I get help on it.  Then I click on the [open http://wnycam.streamguys.com( msg, it pauses and gives me this dump.  Opening a .mov does the same thing:

The Mac OS X crash logger says:

I'll try more later.  You can also get GUI access to a PdLab Mac if that's useful.
