 This seems to be a matter of calling dsp_add with a sufficient number
 of arguments. I don't know how this could be done dynamically.

 Most of the new objects won't work under NT, as pd doesn't export the
 necessary symbols.
 You'd have to add a "EXPORT" to every missing symbol in g_canvas.h and 
 recompile pd in order to get it working.  -- and there may be some
 other quirks too. 
 Currently (at version 0.8) the code isn't really stable at all.
 But it's improving.
