Great!

This means that getting my gtk+ gui going is as simple as:

1) download the source from http://www.peabody.jhu.edu/~karlmac/download/
2) tar zxvf pd-gui.tar.gz somewhere convenient.
3) cd to pd-gui and run ./autogen.sh (this will make and run the configure
    script).
4) make (don't make install - just make).

After this if all went well you will have a binary in pd-gui/src called
pd_gui.  You can either make a symlink in the pd/bin directory to this
binary called pd-gui or use the new -guicmd option.  The symlink version
is done with:

cd /path/to/pd/bin
mv pd-gui pd-gui-tk
ln -s /path/to/pd-gui/src/pd_gui pd-gui

Have fun,

Karl
