[PD-dev] FYI moved my repository

Cleaning or refactoring code is indeed a great way to revise previous 
solution and prepare for new functionality.

The goal is to open it to as many contributors as i can (even newbies in development) to extend it and experiment on it. Personally i don't real need the DSP part (i want to explore more deeply machine learning with musical concepts), but at the same time i'm really excited by the "multi-processor parallel DSP" challenge.

I removed features (i.e undo/redo) that needs to be rewrote (and surely added bunch of new bugs). I changed the API interface, and i'll do it again more in the future. I don't want to keep it fully backward compatible, in order to throw all the bad design choices accumulated with time.

So it is targeted more towards specialized usage (do one thing good) and 
less to generic use (trying to do as much as possible, as good as 
possible), and remain backwards-compatible. This can lead to interesting 
'branches' and maybe features that benefit all.

> That repository is really WORK IN PROGRESS for now. That means it should compile on systems i use (OS X Snow Leopard / Debian Jessie) and is done to not pollute the computer targeted (with the build script provided). But it is 100 % at your own risk. I decided to share it before to get a usable version since it can be usefull to understand original Pd sources (i added comments for tricks i really had hard time to understand) and to start to seduce volunteers ;-)

That is so cool about forking. It allows us to choose between 
compatibility and trying new features fast :-).

Greetings & success,
