[PD-dev] double menu bindings

[Miller Puckette]

Interesting... in my experience the "-accelerator" option (as used
in ::pd_menus::build_put_menu) has never actually bound the menu selection
to the associated keyboard event (so that I've also had to put a key binding
in).  Maybe this is because I wasn't using the feature right somehow.
Anyhow on my linux box (with tcl 8.5) I'm not getting double events so
the difference isn't the tcl/tk version.  I don't know what's going on but
clearly there's something wrong in the original code that manifests itself
in your installation of Pd but not on most peoples'.

cheers

This is something I’ll throw up into a branch when I lock down updates for tk 8.5 on OSX soon. It will need to be tested on other platforms.
