question: should toys be part of Pd distribution?

[Kevin C Baird]

Karl - 

I think that is an excellent idea. RPM seems to be a pretty standard
package, and debian users can use alien to convert to a .deb. I suspect
that PD users are more likely to use non-intel processors than the
"average" linux user, so binaries for Alpha and PPC are probably a good
idea.
