i honestly dunno what you mean here.

imho, if you want to make changes to the OSCx library, you should rather 
replace the externals with the patches i sent than replacing the 
autoconf stuff with template/Makefile and renaming the folder 
(obviously, once that is done there is exactly no reason to keep 
autoconf stuff so template/Makefile (or even a stripped down version if 
you think it too bloaded) is enough.
this would "deploy" those objects to all PdX-0.43 installations (if this 
is what you mean by "deploy").
i figure, that the replacement patches have less bugs than the external 
versions.

starting yet another library doesn't make sense to me (esp. since the 2 
objects are almost 100% compatible (the only thing missing is 
multicast-group support, and i wonder whether anybody uses that).

adding those patches to mrpeach/osc (if this is what you refer to as 
"the 'osc' lib) is imo not a splendid idea either, as mrpeach/osc is 
blissfully unaware of the transport layer. (if martin thinks 
differently, he should go and add those patches)
